"Apple cancels AirPower product, citing inability to meet its high standards for hardware"
Apple claiming high quality standards for their hardware doesn't feel right; When I can't trust buying a laptop from them, in fear that it was won't "just work" for the next six months.
If I am remembering correctly, secure enclave has already been compromised. It was mentioned in an article about development iPhones for sale on the black market. So physical access to the device means all of that is already accessible.
Recently updated my nephews One Plus 3 from 2016. The software updates are even tested on the old hardware. You can also send any of their previous phones in for repair, the repair costs are listed online and actually reasonable.
My boss recently have me six of her previous MacBooks that Apple deemed unrepairable, stating liquid damage on all of them. Upon further inspection only one had liquid damage, two had unresponsive touchpads, one non functioning keyboard, one a shattered screen, and a screen that was peeling excessively. I was astonished at the disrespect they have for their own customers.
What are they supposed to say? Apple computers have small moisture indicators in their computers and when those are tripped you won't get anything for free.
I have a Surface Book and after having the flexibility of having a work/drawing/gaming device in one device makes everything else seem incredibly useless.
