- swiley 5y agoIt's about removing artificial barriers to repair (such as serialized components), not using older tech. Also, there's no reason most things (especially wear/upgrade components lie batteries and storage) in modern devices shouldn't be replaceable but that's more about poor engineering than malicious business practices.
- kaladin_1 5y agoIf we had modular parts in the past and manufacturers have decided to move away from that, I don't think it's as a result of poor engineering. It looks more like it's to retain their control even after a product has been sold.
