It’s the best way to ensure the resale market sucks, at least. As well as getting people to pay up for replacement parts/devices or upgrade sooner.

I have a perfectly good phone, babied all to hell, lives in a case and never comes out, the works.

Well it must have fallen at some point and caught the camera bump. The lenses are fine, thankfully, but it caused spider webbing of the back glass. I didn’t even know it happened until I saw cracks through my liquid case. Possibly months later.

Resale value now significantly lower for essentially no reason. Almost like they designed the whole thing to be as fragile as possible.
