APPLEL WAS A MISTAKE
>reputation for flawlessness
You iToddlers keep saying this, but it's not true. Apple has a reputation for marketing their products this way and then *marking them up* accordingly. They're not supposed to break.
If I pay $1800 for a $1000 laptop on the basis that it "just werks" and is a "quality device", I'm going to be more pissed when it breaks. I'm also going to be more pissed when this "premium" product is designed with glaring mechanical flaws that Apple internally knows exist, sometimes for decades, but refuses to publicly acknowledge or support under warranty.
It's got nothing to do with higher expectations because of track record. The higher expectations exist because Apple markets that way, utterly fail to deliver on it, and charges you a premium as if they had.
i dunno, user i've been using the same type cover in a garage anvironment for 2 years now and it's held up fine other than being slightly darker grey than it used to. There's also sub-50$ aftermarket replacements that are also bluetooth that work fine if you disable pinch zoom (it interferes with scrolling sometimes)
>thin piece of metal
by that logic the whole computer is just a thin piece of metal and it's ridiculous it costs more than 20$
The rest of the laptop contains ICs and other high-precision components which bring the price up. The keyboard is just a metal sheet with contacts and traces that leads to the controller on the mainboard.
ITS A FUCKING BUTTON
IT EITHER WORKS OR DOESNT WORK.
