it's too bad they don't make cellphones like this
Kinda goes against capitalism. Planned obsolescence has been around for a long time and if somebody goes against it, they will be removed by the big players.
There’s also the fact that the mass market wants their cheap shit. Make something to last 10x as long at 3x the price, and sure folks will buy it but the market share would be minuscule.
Its not only that the market wants cheap shit, but also that you would need to trust a company to not just be overpriced shit
Too true
