Well but this non-removable battery crap, 2 years of updates and screen burn-in are complete and utter planned obsolescence. Technology should be built to perform well for 5 years at least, last decades without failing. That way I never forced to upgrade, and I can pick a time to upgrade be that 1 year, 3 years, 10 years or whatever. And even after I upgrade I want the device to be able to run when I wanna use it for nostalgic stuff, etc... I don't like tech being made disposable. Another viewpoint I have is that it is utter disrespect to hardware engineers to make devices disposable and/or hard to repair. I mean just designing a basic logic circuit is a pain in the neck that takes time (personal experience from EE homework), and it is on you to imagine how hard engineers work to make a multi-billion transistor SoC.

The businesses are in business to make money. That's the goal. They make more money if we all buy devices more often. It would not serve them well to make portable electronics that lasted 5-10 years.
