Apple has raised the prices for the repair of the iPad Pro 2018. Repairing one of those devices will now cost 40 euros more compared to the previous generation. The prices without Apple Care+ are now so high that for many people it would probably make sense to just buy a new iPad.

Can't believe people are still paying for Apple products. Whether they're throttling or lying about being the first to implement something that has already existed. At this point, they've devolved into an overrated marketing company.
Despite the negatives, Apple still offers quality products. More than a bit overpriced, I agree, but it's an exaggeration to suggest that it is all merely marketing now.
