I can remember one of the worst Macs ever. The Powerbook 5300...
Even the plastic was crappy. But way back then, Apple recognised the problem. So we were still repairing these 10 years after production had ceased, for free.
Today, Apple won't even notice, unless it gets in the papers. And even then they will do what they can to make it hard to get a free repair.
It started before 2012, tho. And has gotten worse ever since. Remember the GPU's on the 2006-2007 Macbook Pro's?
Is it because they are evil? No, it's because consumers allow it. Whenever there is action against it, Apple loses the case. But they have long ago calculated that losing a case every now and then is far cheaper than doing the right thing.
