We lose money on repairs, sobs penniless Apple, even though we charge y'all a fortune

Re: Famous truths...

We're veering off-topic, but Amazon definitely found the right triggers (besides having EVERYTHING available).

There was this documentary the other day about how Amazon is evil (to be fair it was a bit one-sided) (and I really dislike Amazon) showing a family unwrapping their latest purchase, and the missus doing some maths and saying "wow ! we've spent more than 1300€ in the last 3 months on Amazon ! Who knew !!".

And the husband (assembling his brand-new, "high-quality" workout bench), to the reporter, with a sorry/idiotic smile "Well, yeah, you know, it's the 24/48h delivery, you just feel compelled to buy, it's so easy, it's hard to resist...".

Say no more.

Back on topic, I've never owned anything Apple so I'm a bit flabbergasted at the fact that Apple makes you pay for anything during the warranty period. Isn't the purpose of the warranty having your device repaired at no cost (provided you didn't step on it, threw it out of a window, etc...) ??

I also don't get that "AppleCare covers you for one year". At least in the EU the legal warranty for consumer stuff is 2 years....
