The planned obsolescence conspiracy theories about the company whose products famously last longer and hold more value than their competitors ring a little hollow.
I've never seen any evidence that either of those are true.
However, it's not planned obsolescence either. It's just math. Building things to be repairable costs more money and time. There is very little incentive to do so, because most customers simply do not care. Thus, Apple does not bother. Nothing conspiratorial about it.
