8 days agoI think you mean the consumer. Odds are that your last cell phone still worked, but “the consumer” wanted newer features, faster interfaces, new security, longer battery life, new OS, etc. At this point, the obsolescence is almost entirely in the mind of the consumer
Technically, none of those examples is built in obsolescence. It works the same as the day you bought it without those features. It may not live upto what you want, but that is not built in obsolescence.
