Or you could just get any issue repaired under their repair program. I suppose if your 2016 Ford Mustang had a problem with the engine... one they happily will repair under warranty... you scream outrage and demand an engine from the 2018 Ford Mustang.
On a serious note... Do we even know if the new ones would physically even fit properly in the old chassis? Seems to me that there could very well be a lot of chassis and internals changes that make it not possible to put it in.

I've dealt with Apple for many many years.. and have always, and I really mean always, found them to have one of the best warranty coverage programs of any company I've ever dealt with. I've never had any other product that I could so easily walk into their store and get it repaired in a couple hours, while I go shopping in the mall. This includes them having a pretty well known history of allowing their techs enough leeway to authorize repairs for problems that are either out of the warranty period, or for damage they know was caused by the user (such as water damage).
Since you suggest otherwise, I'd be curious to know what other company has a better program. And I'm not saying that to be snarky. I just wonder if people that complain on here either have a short history with Apple, or have not had occasion to need repairs done by them. Because I've never known anyone that had any problems.
I have never said there is something bad about Apple warranty / or repair program. I said I think there is problem in their behavior and communication. Right know people are not sure what to do... are those 2018 keyboards ok? What about the replacement parts for the 2016 / 2017? Are we going to have issues with them? You pay huge premium for Apple computer, so I expect premium support. No need to thank Apple...
And you are from the US, right? Try dealing with Apple in countries without Apple Store (we have just the online store). Not that good... not that good.
