Dead letter
Dear Apple Computer CEO,
I am writing to you today on behalf of my readers, who are (mostly) consumers who have purchased iPhones and other Apple products. I am writing to you to express my concerns about the company's apparent practice of planned obsolescence.
Planned obsolescence is a business strategy in which products are designed to become obsolete or fail after a certain period of time, in order to encourage consumers to buy new products. This practice is often used in the technology industry, where new products are constantly being released.
There is evidence that Apple engages in planned obsolescence in a number of ways. For example, the company has been accused of slowing down older iPhones with software updates. This has led to complaints from consumers who have found that their phones are no longer working as well after they have been updated.
Apple has also been accused of making it difficult to repair older iPhones. The company has been criticized for its use of proprietary screws and other parts that make it difficult for third-party repair shops to fix iPhones. This has made it more expensive for consumers to keep their old iPhones running.
I believe that Apple's practice of planned obsolescence is unfair to consumers. It forces consumers to buy new products more often than they would otherwise need to, and it also contributes to electronic waste.
I urge you to stop engaging in planned obsolescence. I also urge you to make it easier for consumers to repair their old iPhones. By taking these steps, you can show your commitment to sustainability and fair business practices.
Sincerely, Borderlineblog
