I’m having a hard time imagining that level of planned obsolescence for VR displays though. If anything, I’d expect the quest 4 (or 5, or whatever generation matches Apple specs) to last longer.
Of course, it’s a moot point for me and the large percentage of the population that will never strap Facebook-controlled eye trackers to their head.

- hedora 3y agoI regularly replace my screen 1-2 times between iPhone upgrades, and have never kept one until end of security update support. I've never managed to replace an android screen, and have only replaced one android phone that still had security update support (I've only bought flagship androids.)
- bashinator 3y agoI replaced my iPhone X this year, with a 15 that I anticipate owning at least another 5-6 years.

I also have a Galaxy Edge from the same year as the iPhone X. The Samsung is completely unusable. Every tap takes seconds for anything to respond.
