Three people already told you that that message from Apple is neither illegal nor rude. You should learn to accept that.

Okay, I've read up on Australia's consumer laws. Feel free to sue Apple if you think that they've violated consumer laws. I won't stop you.
Right, everybody that has a different opinion is wrong. We are all fake news, right?
That’s my plan!! I want to sail all the ilusion they send me and comeback to reality: android!
You actually have no evidence of planned obsolescence. You can be upset with Apple for replacing the part with the same part that quite possibly has a known issue, but that isn't planned obsolescence.
In a previous post you mention that you accused Apple (to them) that they deliberately planned obsolescence of your computer. Of course they are going to take the steps you mention above. I don't quite know how you think they could cancel your Internet Provider though. That's got nothing to do with Apple. They simply can't do that. And I think you're making things up.
You can't just accuse a company/people of something with no evidence and then expect them to listen to you and take you seriously. The best way to show them how upset you are with them is to change to a different computer company.
I'm not defending Apple here and I get your frustration as it is a crappy situation, but you've gone about it the entire wrong way.
They can’t suspend my ISP but they told “ in a warning “ way they would inform??? I didn’t understand the reason of this agressive message. Ohh you are definitely defending Apple!!!
What does your country's laws have to say about this issue? You say they have a duty to refund you - but what does the law say? Because ultimately, that's what Apple has to do.
Even here in Australia, where we have excellent consumer protection laws that FORCED Apple to extend their 1 year warranty to 2 years - I would not get any support for a machine that is 10 years old, and that has already been repaired a few times.
I can't think of any country that would expect Apple to continue to help you for a machine that old.
Even I would not expect Apple to help after 10 years.
Sure - I have a Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh from 1997 in my cupboard, and I've love for Apple to do some repairs on it for free, but - they aren't going to do that, either.
You know Apple and you don’t know me. Im the minor, invisible part of this consumer issue. But im not a regular consumer, im a post modern mentality, A combination of a fashion teacher becoming a Lawyer. A mix of power and focus. Its a soul of warrior, but a verify frigile body.
You don't understand? Haha. Yes you do! All that rage posting, yeah...
And, why are you replying to yourself in this thread? Reading it once is more than enough entertainment.
Braziliam law secures to any consumer of product with a hidden defect the right to replace to a similar model or refound the consumer in 30 days. Its very protective law as well.
Hahahahaha... Thanks for the chuckles.
You might need some stamina to go with that power and focus because you're burning pretty intense on this thread. I don't think you can keep it up!
Anyway, how much money do you want from Apple for this situation?
Oh really!?!?
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but you're certainly prone to hyperbole.
