Did it seem weird to anyone else that this was slipped in?<p>&quot;...Abraham’s main message is that we need products that can be improved or repaired (rather than having an in-built ‘death clock’, like most Apple devices) and that we should recycle more assiduously what are actually valuable materials within that old computer or phone.&quot;<p>I thought, (anecdotally as the owner of a iPhone 5 running fine) that apple is actually ahead of the curve here. Maybe on MacBooks where battery replacement is hard? Even then my MacBook has outlasted any other laptop I&#x27;ve bought. Seems weird to call the battery degrading a &quot;death clock.&quot;<p>Is this a common sentiment or known fact I&#x27;ve missed?
