And on the other side of the fence
Just how many of these Manufactures actually buy things themselves that can not be repaired and need replacement every couple of years. Apple who subcontract out all of their production work are a perfect example of this. Does Foxcomm replace all of it's Production Equipment every 2 years or so?
Do they replace the UV Soldering machines every 6 months or would they accept it as acceptable that their Pick & Place Robots need to be thrown out and replaced every 6 months because the cup has cracked that holds the component in place to place it onto the Circuit Board?
I find it the height of Hypocrisy the way that places like this work they demand High Reliability and Long Life and easy repairability of the equipment that they purchase to make their products and then ignore all of this in the products that they design and sell.
They have even been known to use Carcinogenic Glues because they are cheaper for them to buy and are cheaper to use particularly when you do not have any Labor Laws in place to protect the workers which they are abusing. Only good thing may be that Mr Jobs suffered the results of using Unsafe Products which ended his life but I very much doubt it.
