North American sales are bad for everyone, except, miraculously, Google.

It is amusing how cell phone companies want people to think about their products like a fridge or video game console, yet are shocked when people seem to only want to buy a new one every 5-10 years or more when the old one breaks.
The fact that you think it's normal to change fridges regularly astonishes me
I don't like it, but it is a fairly normal part of the modern world of consumer goods for home appliances to "not be made like they used to."
I just had to replace my clothes dryer. New one is guaranteed for one year. Estimates for the life of the unit is about ten years max. The dryer I replaced was made in 1989.
I had to replace my washer recently. Brand new as of 2019. The price of repair was approximately 500 dollars. A new washer was 700. This is a very frustrating situation.
Are these shocked cell phone companies in the room with us? iPhone sale peaked like three years, Samsung probably close to then as well.
