Consumer Outrage: Why Are Apple Chargers So Expensive and Fragile?

A recent video shared by user 'amanda' has sparked discussion online, highlighting growing consumer frustration with Apple products. In the video, a woman recounts her experience with a malfunctioning MacBook and expensive, easily broken Apple chargers. She detailed how her MacBook unexpectedly shut down during a Zoom call. Upon seeking assistance at an Apple Genius Bar, she was informed that her computer was fine, but a non-Apple charger she had used was responsible for the issue, necessitating the purchase of a new Apple charger costing $95. The user expressed dismay at the high cost and perceived fragility of Apple's proprietary charging accessories, suggesting that the company's policies compel users to purchase their expensive products to ensure device compatibility and functionality.
