It's a fair point and probably partially true. But I'm pretty certain the only way an iPhone will survive for a century is if someone removes the battery and places it into a locked vault. With regular, or even just occasional use, it's unlikely to last past a decade.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoWhat is the significance of an iPhone not surviving for a century?
- southerntofu 6y agoSo batteries are a problem because they wear easily. This could be addressed in the future with eg. supercapacitors and other durable batteries technology, but can be mitigated in the meantime by making batteries replaceable. For the other components, i don't see any reason they couldn't last over a decade. Even if a single component fails (eg. touchscreen) it should be easily replaceable, and your device could be good to go for another ten years. But to be fair, if all products lasted 10 years, that would be considerably better than the present situation (though not nearly enough).
