Very sad about Apple repairs

I have friends who bought MacBooks years ago and they performed very well and lasted them a decade or more. I was impressed by their longevity and decided to get a 15inch MacBook Pro with Retina display back in 2015. I’ll give it rave reviews because it’s the best machine I’ve ever had. I dropped my MacBook a couple of times this year (2021) and the speaker came loose so it vibrates a bit making the sound blurry. Other than that, the MacBook still performs great. I took it in to the Fourways Mall Istore in Johannesburg for repairs and you can imagine my disappointment when I heard that the very reason that I bought the MacBook in the first place is a farce. They said my MacBook is a 2014 model and they consider that to be a vintage model and they no longer make parts for it. So, in essence, I shouldn’t have spent all that money in the first place because the parts won’t be available for long so I won’t get the full 10-year enjoyment that I expected. To make matters worse, no one can refer me to a place where I can get it fixed. They just offered me a R1400 trade-in. I’m very sad considering that I’ve encouraged a few friends to get MacBooks. I didn’t expect to be stranded like this.
