All Things Mac/ Apple

@Snowy yeah it has been growing great. no problems so far. after getting it replaced, i upgraded the hard drive to ssd and everything feels so much faster. it feels like the computer had a refresh and could go on for another 2-3 years. so that puts it lifespan about 5-7 years, which is good. the only thing i'm lacking is a retina screen.
well, glad you got it replaced, as a side note, it would be worth getting it replaced even though the screen has not fuck up. that way you could sorta have a peace of mind.

Always worth a try at a Apple Store in my experience. Had out of warranty iPhones replaced.

yeah like what they all mentioned. check in with the apple store see what they an do/cost are to replace. also check online if there are any other people with similar fault on your MBA model/year and also check for any ongoing/upcoming replacement programs if so..

My MBP is back 1.5 business days. No cost, and working better than it was before service. It's had a good cleaning on the inside and out. The inside was full of cat hair that I couldn't remove, but after they'd removed the logic board, I think they vacuumed to whole thing clean. I love what Apple does. Turns a negative experience into a strong advocacy experience and I still love it!

Organizations. All companies/orgs, have an obligation to make as much profit and pay as little tax as possible. They are bound to do as such by their shareholders. It's not an Apple thing.
Read the wiki on Double Irish arrangements;

QFT. I have had the occasional issue with my sons' gaming laptops, and the "warranty" is basically a big middle finger (Samsung? Yoohoo!). We use MBPs for everything else, for a reason. My son dropped his iPad once (shattered, sha-dooby) and I went to an Apple store to by a replacement. I gave the "genius" the pieces of what my son dropped to recycle for me, and they took something like $200 US off the deal. How cool is that?
My 2011 MBP is in with the apple store. The display was going crazy greens/reds. It's out of all warranty, but being done under a general recall/replacement. $800AUD replacement for free. Any other vendor, and back in the day I used to do hardware/parts/etc, would say, sorry, that's natural wear/tear/usage of 4 years always on device. Apple goes, no no, it should last you more than 4 years, we're sorry our manufacturing wasn't up to par for you, and this isn't your fault, so we'll fix it for free.
It's stuff like this why I stick with Apple. Some of their hardware/options are annoying, their service bar none, number one.

Wow!!! How has no one mentioned the new music update to the phone? Holy shit, it's the worst thing I've ever seen. Absolutely moronic and fucking pisses me off!!!!
I now have 5 tabs, 4 of which I will NEVER use and 1 that encompasses all my fucking music! Last time I checked that was the only thing I wanted that fucking app to do!
-
Fuck apple. It's bad enough that you see "complete this album" all the fucking time, I disabled it and it took away the ITunes Store app too. Yeah, trying to get it to get rid of being harassed is equivalent to not wanting to buy music.
Well my screen is slightly loose so I'm going to try and abuse my warranty and get a new replacement phone, I'll be sure to mention how shitty the update is when I'm there!

New phones and OS less than 2 months away. This is the period where all our current phones stop working, magically :).
new iphone, new ipad mini and hopefully the skylake mbp15.

I'm still using my 2007 MBP 15" (well it is a bit of a Frankenstein, new logic board, memory and HD upgrades). I really want to upgrade soon though. I have my eye on a Refurb 13" MBP.
