The economics behind it is that if they can make you buy a new one, they make more money than if you repair it.

Is this nameplate capacity, actually peak generation, or average generation? They're all good, but for the first two, to get 100% renewable energy all the time, you need a lot more than 100% nameplate or peak generation.

Waterproof is the loophole! I had a suspicion Apple backing the bill was too good to be true. I wonder if they'll make all their products waterproof to utilize this loophole, or if they actually will improve for laptops and desktops.
