It's funny people still think this, they just replaced nearly my entire M1 MacBook Pro that was completely fucked because of water damage. Literally everything but the display was replaced, I basically have a new computer at the cost of $300+whatever I paid for AppleCare+ when I bought it ($400, I think?), which is significantly cheaper than buying a new one would have been
Let me tell you an anecdote where I had to pay 620€ to repair the screen of one of their cheaper ipads. About the same price as a new one. Wasn't even 3 years old.
