I was a manufacturing engineer for cutting edge electronics for the better part of 30 years. There is effectively no such thing as “planned obsolescence”, at least not in the way that most people think. Products are designed to a certain spec and price point that the marketing folks believe will sell well. That’s it. We don’t plan to make shitty things that will fail at some point.
