    Also so that phones require more frequent replacement. Usually the battery goes first. It doesn’t hold a charge or undervolts and slows down the phone. They want you to buy a new phone every two years.

      Usually the screen goes first after a drop. But that is also not easily repaired.

        Yeah, but if you don’t drop it, the screen will last many years. Burn in hasn’t been a problem for a while.
