It's partly because apple or microsoft or google or other manufacturer stops upgrading the software. You see, instead of just upgrading the same operating system, they have to come out with a new "version" of the same android or apple software, which OOOPS, your old phone does not support therefore you must buy a new phone because of software shenanigans. Or else be stuck on the old operating system which will no longer get security updates and which browsers will stop working or like you said the battery that needs replacement every two years but is unfucking accessible without melting the fucking screen off the cellphone at a distinct narrow temperature range because slightly too much head will cook the screen so yeah fuck the customer. Why isn't there a law that says if an item has a battery that may need replacement within 5 years the manufacturer has to make it easily fucking accessible and replaceable?
It is a consumerist scheme. Your shit will not work in a few years and you will own nothing but old bricked cellphones and the refrigerator that bricked because it couldn't connect to a chinese server in the cloud and you have to let it scan your finger print and eye iris or else you are locked out.
Am i the only one that thought it was fucking suspicious that they put fingerprint readers on the cellphones and told you it was to lock your own device but really it is just to harvest and collect everyone's fingerprints into the CIA database.
