35: Why Apple won't let us have good phones

Fighting Failure

Companies are deliberately making your phone worse. They give it security updates for fewer years, they make the battery deliberately worse and bombard you with advertising about the next big thing that you don't actually need. What are the reasons for this? When did it begin? And most importantly, what can we do to fix it?

On this episode hosted by Oscar Archibald, we discuss Planned Obsolescence, Right-to-repair and eWaste.
