Yes pitching a 500 dollar device in the landfill because the battery is bad is always Smart Thinking .... All because of a battery with a 2 year average lifespan when the rest of the hardware should last 10 easily

Great for Sales, not so much for the environment .... All because of a Marketing Gimmick, it's an 1/8" thinner ... Big F-ing deal

But on the bright side, the new Air is thinner and smaller and takes up less room in the landfill .....
