Apple will update iPhones for at least 5 years in rare public commitment

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
No you can't. Apple has contracts with component manufacturers barring them from selling board level components to anyone. You can only buy complete assemblies which usually end up costing close to the price of an entire new device.
They also put a 500% premium on storage upgrades. And if you buy an identical device and drop it in, it will not function at all.
I dunno how you can just drop this and pretend like it's not fucking appalling and intentionally malicious.
That is some made-up bullshit if I've ever heard it.
The evidence against Apple and planned obsolescence is astounding and undeniable.
