But an extra 0 is not a safe indicator of a durable product. Only a service contract or law can guarantee this.
Conversely, the durable Nokia phones that half my friends and family still happily use never had an extra "0" on their price tag. They probably incurred losses to Nokia by being well-crafted.
- mseebach 15y agoNo, and the absence of the 0 doesn't say anything definitive either. But there's a general tendency that you can get more durable products if you're willing to pay for it. Nokias came at a premium a decade ago, and in the "dumb-phone" market still do. Not exactly 10x, though. Their dumb-phones division is hugely profitable, it's smart-phones that are weighing them down. By the way, while they are durable, they're not the least bit serviceable.
