I think that's just a result of technology getting more complex and complicated. A light bulb is pretty reliable for its lifespan, and my Commodore 64 still works fine. The latest iPhones have curved glass displays, even more accurate color reproduction retina displays, much more advanced baseband and OS, multiple microphones, etc, not to mention it's thinner. These advances come with trade-offs - the more parts there are, the more likely it's to break.
