Anyone have experience successfully SE’ing a MacBook via MEB?

there has been a few reports of it working, but honestly not too sure what it's like now.

would probably give it a try myself if it's been working

Apple will brick your macbook or iphone if its directly from apple

have you personally checked this recently and can confirm? I did apple directly and the device never got bricked

I recently did iPad Pro M4 13 inch and other stuff totaling 4.7k aud. It's possible although difficult, best thing to do is partial EB, although i did DNA. They left it at the door even though they shouldn;t have, and they said people were home and I told them that they were in an important meeting and couldnt leave it at the time of delivery, and when they went to the door nothing was there. I heard apple can and sometimes does brick the devices so I make sure to wrap it in foil and do NOT activate or touch until money is sent back. I haven't even opened it, im going to sell it and rebuy the same thing in store to make sure I get warranty since apple is extremely good with warranties and helping you out provided you have an extensive purchase history with them directly.

from what ive experienced, untrue. MEB on iphones ive ordered from apple themselves havent ever been bricked, not really sure with macbooks tho

The thing is - don’t activate item you did, on the same account you ordered.

so you are knowingly selling a laptop to someone for thousands of dollars that could get bricked? that's disgusting.

selling it too a shop that buys shit is fair enough, but not some random person

The fictional store apple us doesnt brick or blacklist devices. new accounts are unlikely to work. 1+ year old account works. dna/meb works but dont be an idiot and power on the device you claim you didnt get until you return the replacement and received your money.

Did they start an investigation and how long did it take?
