in my experience, as someone who used to service computers professionally, apple users have never serviced their own shit and they invariably take it to a "genius bar" (lmao) where the overworked psycho brand loyalist can sell them some shit. it's like taking your 20 year old civic to the honda dealership because the handle for your door broke and the mechanic "must" sell you a whole new door for $900. or you take it to the offbrand guy at Joe Blow's Auto who can hook it up by only replacing the part that is actually broken for $50.
which like, hey, i get it. capitalism gonna capitalism. but jesus christ, so many of them think they are the clever consumer for dropping 5x the price on a fashion accessory that they don't even know how maintain.
