Whatever advantages that make consumers choose to buy it.

Whatever advantages that make consumers choose to buy it.
- Retric 9y agoLack of options or awareness is the normal 'advantage'. Companies don't want to say you can repair it when it breaks because that implies it will break.
- SamReidHughes 9y agoIf it will break, the advantage is cheaper engineering and manufacturing. The price of electronics generally approaches zero anyway, so all problems people have with the industry evaporate as the phones get cheaper, cheaper, and cheaper.
- Retric 9y agoIn another comment I suggested a minimum price of around 200$ before the rule kicks in. If it's over that then by definition it's not free. Remember this is assembly not CPU design or something. Companies want the ability to source from multiple other companies so at some point you get individual components.
- SamReidHughes 9y agoPeople can just buy cheap phones that were as good as the expensive ones a couple of years ago. There's no need to get up in people's business about how they make expensive phones.
