Apples hardware is one of their strengths. By far the best in class in mosts categories they compete in.

This is a massive problem. It’s not ok for a device which millions of people use to get so hot. This could cause a fire given the right conditions.
I hope this gets reported on the mainstream news so people realise Apple isn’t so great after all.
This is by far not the first time they’ve had hardware issues with their products. I think hardware is their Achilles heel.
Not that I feel sorry for them considering how much they fleece customers on the prices for the devices, repairs, accessories, the amount of times they tell you to get a whole new Mac when all it needs is 1 part etc.

You might want to ask Lou Rossman about that, he would beg to differ.
I remember well when I was an apple fan that the unwritten rule was “never buy gen 1 of apple devices because they will have issues. Always wait for gen 2”
The issues with their laptops, especially the main board, is legendary. Then there’s bendgate, antennagate, the cracking of the cases of the white macbooks (which I had) etc
Not a stellar record. Whereas typically we don’t see these issues on PC’s and Android phones. The only big one was the exploding Samsung Note 7, but Samsung recalled them all and cancelled the phone. Unlike Apple who said “you’re holding it wrong” when their antenna design was the real problem.

Many laptop manufactures have terrible hinges, power connectors that break and terrible keyboards. The difference is volume of a single design and media pick up of the issues.

Something tells me it could also cause a fire given the wrong conditions.
