That Hardware Maintenance Manual above is for certified/trained third party repair facilities, not end users.

Its for both, in fact. Lenovo designates their parts in the manual as either CRU (Customer Replaceable Unit) og FRU (Field Replaceable Unit). Like the names suggest, CRUs are meant to be replaced by the customer themselves, and FRUs by a technician. However, the customer can opt to have Lenovo replace the CRU for them, or replace a FRU themselves, and Lenovo is fine with that.

Apple Lost Lawsuit Against Independent iPhone Repair Shop in Norway Over Unauthorized Parts


Fear.... But acceptable for Apple?

so progressive. Apple has done more for the world by doing this.... almost as much as Mcdonald's did for women by turning their logo upside down .

Tacky.

I'd prefer a green Apple than just the tip, but i guess beggars can't be chooses.

Their iPhone 6 is four years old, a dinosaur in the tech world, yet still in use by many of my peers and others around the world.

That simply isn't true anymore. Technology between 1990 and 2010 hurtled along but now it is way more iterative, meaning that tech is ageing much more slowly. Companies don't rush out the upgrades once they have a captive market - got to save something for next years model to keep them customers coming back for more.

The iphone 6 is closer to being in it's 60's, near retirement age. It is definitely not something 66million years old.

A truly green Apple would design machines (laptops and most iMacs) that can be easily repaired and upgraded rather than needing to, in many cases, be totally replaced adding massive amounts in carbon emissions in manufacturing, packaging and transport. If it much simpler to send/replace a stick of memory or an SSD than an entire motherboard or machine.
The push to make laptops and iMacs thinner/lighter/prettier makes them less and less serviceable and also reduces the life time of the device

I still use my mid 2009 MacBook Pro at home for hours a day. Aside from having to buy a new SSD, I haven’t had to repair anything else. Rocking a Core 2 Duo, 2.92Ghz. It does its job for email, documents, ms Remote Desktop, Lync, Netflix and streaming playoff hockey. From that perspective, it has lasted a good while. As horrible it is that RAM is not replaceable on newer models, the price to get a new machine with comparable storage has kept me away first and foremost. Still... 9 years with the same machine. No complaints really.

Who says they’re not? You don’t have to buy the latest iPhone every year. I’m still using my almost 6 year old original iPhone 5. And previous iPhones I’ve handed down to others are still in use.

Their Macs are horrendously non-repairable.
