    It is designed to fail. But for other reasons and by different mechanisms.

      It’s not designed to fail. It’s designed to be user serviceable. You can buy a replacement and replace it yourself. It literally only requires a Phillips head screwdriver to take out the one screw on the back panel. If that is designed to fail, then a car needing an oil change is “designed to fail”.

        Literally rocket science. I’m gonna have to pay a monthly subscription so a service tech can come out and do it for me.

        It is made out of materials that have a set lifetime or propensity for easily breaking, like glass screens that explode into a supernova if you look at them wrong.
