Yeah, that’s really unfortunate to hear. Gladly I didn’t had any build quality issues so I didn’t even mentioned that side but you are right in that it’s also a pretty important point. Back in the day micro-USB connectors wearing out was a big thing that apple products didn’t suffered from but that’s been solved with type-c. Other than that I’ve been pretty lucky with my phones not falling apart on me.
The internet as a whole was much better when websites and services were not designed to cater to kids.
