Maybe if you're referring to iPhones and iPads.
The Intel Macbooks were always super easy to open for cleanup or replacing parts. I did it for years and never broke anything.

Or the new laptops ;) They're no longer Intel Macbooks, and compared to laptops from other brands, the new Apple hardware seems way harder (although I'd confess to not having the experience of picking any of the M* models apart personally). https://www.ifixit.com/repairability/laptop-repairability-sc...
Didn't the latest iPhones have some sort of "repairability" push or something? Don't remember exactly, but seems to have given me the idea that Apple is moving towards making it easier to repair the iPhones specifically.
Yes, they moved all their batteries away from glued adhesives to "Command Strips" pull-tab style adhesive pads. Same pads have been on the laptops for a bit as well. The latest iPhone also rotated the guts to where the battery is easier to get to and does not require removal of the logic board.

I’m something like 3 for 20 lifetime in getting those CommandStrip style adhesives to release completely, no matter how many videos I watch for technique.
