Bone headed stupid idiots. There goes a chunk of the business and education sectors. Apple's transformation into a self-perpetuating retail-led shiny trinket company is now complete.

Cheers, I wasn't aware of the iFixit take.

They're a bit deal in the public sector and corporate world as it makes the secondhand kit worth more, easier/cheaper to recycle. If the product spec says EPEAT and Apple can't meet it then they could lose the education market.

iFixit managed to damage the battery when stripping the machine down ... which started leaking. That and their obsession with non-standard screws to stop people opening them up. What next, supergluing the case on and fitting a chassis sensor that phones home?
