> I think it’s perfectly reasonable to have that under a warranty.
The warranty is not that long, and I think the parent comment is talking about 6+ year old iphones that are definitely out of warranty.
If those should get replaced, surely that means each person buys one iPhone in their life, and then just gets free replacements forever, leading to the initial cost of the phone having to go up a lot to account for that.
Incorrect. Forced obsolescence lets manufacturers decide where that cut off is. 6+ year iPhone, nope, not going to touch it. Sorry. However, if it’s still serviceable and by some rule less than X years old, that just had a security issue or something publicly disclosed, should do their best effort to repair their customer relationships by making it right.
