I tried to find a good study of laptop lifespan by brand. The best thing I could find was a consumer reports survey from 2023.
https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics-computers/laptops-chromebooks/laptopreliability-a7029273631/
They rated Apple as the #1 laptop for reliability. I don’t think that is “iWaste.”
This lines up with what I’ve seen, but even as a career IT person my personal sample size ain’t that great.
I dislike that current Apple products aren’t very repairable, but appreciate that they are very recyclable and durable.
Repairability, not reliability
Still using my 2011 15” MacBook Pro!
