Corporations have to intentionally manufacture things to break. They have to for the basis of this corrupt global economic system is CYCLICAL CONSUMPTION. People need to repeatedly consume things even though this economic model of consumption destroys people and the planet and is extraordinarily wasteful. Without cyclical consumption, there would be economic collapse and massive unemployment and therefore you have to have planned obsolescence or the manufacturing of things to break. This is why is it so important that people be turned into cyclical consumers like mice running up a wheel. This is also why cancer will NEVER be cured and why war, poverty, crime, terrorism, pollution, and disease are actually excellent for the "economy". Watch this clip from the profound film "Zeitgeist, Moving Forward".
Apple has already designed the I-Phone 10 but first you will have to buy them the I-Phone 7,8, and 9 because they will all last 7,8,9, and 10 months respectively. Apple is a big manufacturer of worthless bullshit that is intentionally designed to break so you will be forced to buy more of their products. It is officially known planned obsolescence. It is a way that Apple steals from their customers since the customer is paying for an inferior phone by design that they pay upwards of $600 dollars for! The slave-made phone cost Apple 10 dollars to make too so they are really robbing people blind! Once the phones self destruct, they will be trashed and dumped in poor Third World countries like Ghana and will destroy the local environment, people's health, and their food supply. Entire parts of Ghana have been turned into a toxic garbage dump. The amount of e-waste that our wasteful economic system is staggering and it is all by design because money is made by designing the products to break in a matter of months so more products can be sold, money can be made by mind control advertisers telling you to buy a new dumb ass smartphone every year, and money is made dumping these products in Third World Countries. Of course, it is Blacks who have to bear the cost of wasteful, predatory, white supremacist capitalism.
This also allows Apple to continue to promote the mindless consumerism, obsession, and addiction that people have to these worthless gadgets by releasing a new smartphone every four months. This is known as perceived obsolescence. These completely legal and widely used business practices which are incredibly wasteful, environmentally destructive, and corrupt.
As the film, the "Lightbulb Conspiracy" notes below: "Planned Obsolescence is the deliberate shortening of product life spans to guarantee consumer demand. As a magazine for advertisers succinctly puts it: The article that refuses to wear out is a tragedy of business - and a tragedy for the modern growth society which relies on an ever-accelerating cycle of production, consumption and throwing away. The Light Bulb Conspiracy combines investigative research and rare archive footage to trace the untold story of Planned Obsolescence, from its beginnings in the 1920s with a secret cartel, set up expressly to limit the life span of light bulbs, to present-day stories involving cutting edge electronics (such as the iPod) and the growing spirit of resistance amongst ordinary consumers. This film travels to France, Germany, Spain and the US to find witnesses of a business practice which has become the basis of the modern economy, and brings back disquieting pictures from Africa where discarded electronics are piling up in huge cemeteries for electronic waste."
The "LightBulb Conspiracy" is a great film on planned obsolescence. It talks about how light bulbs used to made to last a hundred years and now they last three months. It also discuss the negative consequences of planned obsolescence on the environment and people.

Cell Phones and Electronic Gadgets are Destroying the Environment and Your Health
Great video below on electronics and cell phones are how they are destroying the environment, the workers who produce them, and your health since they are loaded with toxic heavy metals and cancer causing radiation. My recommendation: consume less electronics, fix the electronics when the things are broken, and make sure to properly recycle your electronic waste. Stores like Best Buy or Staples offer FREE recycling.
Products Can Be Made to Last But That is Bad Business
Capitalism is based on consumption meaning that you must design inferior products that will eventually fail in order to sell more. This concept is known as planned obsolescence. Companies also intentionally design new technology i.e. the Iphone 5, which makes previous technology i.e. the Iphone 4, obsolete again to sell more products! Phones can be made last though and this interesting video shows how it can be done.
This is why we need an entire new economic system, a resource based economy as promoted by the Zeitgeist Movement. The global economic system cannot be reformed. It must be dismantled and replaced with a new system.
