that they have to replace each member of their family's $1,000 phone every other year because it's not designed to last

What do they do? I'm on my third phone since they came to be and the one inbetween only because it became infeasible to repair a broken screen. While my Galaxy S3 just retired from being an alarm clock, because the battery can't be charged anymore (and replacement batteries were bad-as-new in 2016 already).

Maybe don't buy $1000 phones then.

You can get much more reliable and sturdy phones for like $300-$400 and they last longer than the flimsy fancy flagship phones. They just don't have the best features.

Yes? That's what i do. High end doesn't have the features i like and cpu and camera are outdated 3 or4 years later anyway.
