No, the table also shows brands that did NOT fail, too, specifically Infinite Cables, Insignia, etc.:

Fair warning: this comes with a 60-day non-Apple warranty. You can purchase an extended warranty starting at $35, so you’re already at $325. iPad Mini’s routinely go for $339 via Apple’s refurb site and carry a full one-year Apple warranty. Of course, they’re not in stock at the moment, but you can sign up to get…

Not exactly free, but for a one-time cost of about $150—$50 for a nice antenna and $100 for an HDHomeRun—you can get access to your local stations. YMMV if you live in a city with high-rise buildings, or in other areas with obstructions—e.g., mountains, trees, kaiju, etc.—but I live in a fairly rural area a half hour…

HDMI cables are NOT all the same:

Not quite the same situation, but my wife’s colleague accidentally stepped on her laptop—a nice mid-range ASUS—and ruined the screen. I pulled the HDD and returned it to her, and she let me keep the rest. I simply removed the screen and gave it to my mom to use as a replacement for her aging desktop. Worked perfectly…

Nah, I’ll just wait until my Steam Deck reservation date arrives. By that time, 2TB cards will be $20 or we’ll experience the heat death of the universe.

Also worth noting—and I’ll append the post with the teardown video, if I find it—but you can’t just get any NVME 2230. It needs to be single sided. Apparently Micron is coming out with one later this year, but I haven’t seen pricing, yet:

Specifically for Apple, buy as much RAM as you can possibly afford, as you’ll never be able to upgrade it, since it is integrated into the board. So, while 32 GB might seem like a lot, five years from now it may be more standard.

One tip: before your AppleCare warranty expires, ALWAYS check your battery health and if it is under the threshold above, get it replaced. It will help your iPhone last longer and will up its resale value, should you decide to upgrade.
