Totally agreed.  All one needs to do is think of all of those small mobile phone shops that are making business out of repairing phones and replacing screens.  Quite a large segment of the business would go under if they changed phones to be longer lasting.  I still can't get over how very expensive those phones are.  Where do people get all of that money from to not only buy one phone, but to be eager and do almost anything to upgrade it to a next and then a next phone. For me it is very wasteful.  Not to mention littering the environment with obsolete models.

Most people have the money because they piroritize phone than anything else on their budget . This is very popular in my country (indonesia) where there are lot of people that have expensive phone but funny enough doesnt have the money to buy data plan or their tax mostly

making phone last longer is just giving a stronger material . Most phone todays are having a glass back which is easily break and also serve no purpose because you use case anyway so the glass back is kinda useless . and also nowdays phone have smaller bezel making the lcd much more prone to cracking

and littering emviromment is one of the bad thing about this plamned obsolecence ,most company just care about money that they make . But most of the phone component are recycleable espescially with most phone use OLED or organic screen but the battery is still not recycleable
