If Apple used an alloy to begin with this all could have been avoided.
The standing rigging on my boat looked perfect. Until one day the mast came crashing down. Rusted through the rigging.
Stainless steel looks perfect. But it can get a rust spot that just eats through it silently. In just one place. I think it is a bit like aluminium, in that it protects itself with a microscopic layer of oxidation which then needs to be maintained.
