If the parts that break are either unavailable or incredibly difficult to replace then I agree. (Held in by glue I’m looking at you ya bastard)
But just because it breaks doesn’t mean it’s planned obsolescence.
Where I work in the freight industry we have little handhelds we’re supposed to use that get dropped all the time. Occasionally the screens break or the cameras break. Both of them are held in by screws and are swappable in that event.
Fairphone is a device I’d love to get as they are very easily fixable but they still break when dropped. The parts are readily available for purchase as well. It’s just not easy if you’re outside of the EU.
