I don't own a lot of Apple gear. Why and Apple Co repairs.

Oct 21, 2018 2:25PM PDT

And my reason is really an odd one due to how Apple's security works. I have an Apple account but forgot the security questions and can't seem to get that resolved. Very strange. I went to the local Apple store and they could not help. I've called in and got nowhere.

So that's my first reason.

Next is Apple's predatory system about repairs. Here's a few videos on that.
1. https://youtu.be/AVL65qwBGnw where you get insight to how Apple is using the US Gov to confiscate spare parts that you can't buy from Apple.


2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2_SZ4tfLns is where simple issues that cost little to fix are blown up into "too expensive to repair" estimates.


As you can imagine this really causes me a lot of pain since I really wanted to get a Mac Pro last year. But given I can't get my account fixed, I decided to stick with PC laptops.
