I think the e-waste angle is mostly unrelated.

Is it though? I was able to replace a broken Macbook screen a couple of generations ago. It was hard and took a while, but I managed. I'm very sure I would not be able to do this given this kind of screen.

I guess we'll see when the first tear-down comes out. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the only way to fix the screen is to replace it together with the webcam.



There will be 3rd-party screens that fit this, just as there were 3rd party screens that fit every other macbook.


I'm pretty sure there hasn't been any "3rd-party screens" for macbooks since Retina displays came along. It's all sold as the display + case, lcd bonded to the glass.


Probably true. I haven’t looked into this since I did a screen replacement on a MacBook in like 2013
