Government regulation that would improve #Apple #Macbooks: 1. For (Warranty+X) years, all companies must meet the cost of labour for repairs on their products. 2. The maximum cost of a repair part be limited to the smallest individual broken component(s).
So the $5 ribbon display cable #FlexGate dies on your #Macbook - the maximum you pay is $5. If Apple wants to build the display as a super-integrated, glued unit that has to be replaced as a whole when that cable goes, that choice is theirs, as is the cost of that choice.
Challenges are how #Design is made better. #Regulation works as an evolutionary force to improve the design of products, toward utility for the user.
