A critique of the fragility and impracticality of modern smartphones, urging a
shift toward more durable, repairable designs, and a call for manufacturers
and users alike to prioritize function over aesthetics.
As in, desgined to fail early? I highly doubt that.
Even if it were true, lightbulbs still last longer and are way cheaper. Whether I have to replace them every six years or every five years doesn’t matter as much.
Light bulbs originally lasted basically forever, is my understanding. The wires were thick enough to not break with use, and also made of a more durable metal. Then they were made thinner and the metal used changed, so they’d wear out eventually and users would have to buy more.
Fucking lights bulbs are designed to fail and we are okay with it. Why would anything change with phones.
Because it’s not right?
Because it’s fraud?
Because fuck these asshole companies?
Take a pick why
