I bought nokia lumia 950 in 2015, owned it all the way up until 2021, why I replaced it? Well because Microsoft simply stopped support it, no Facebook, no Whatsapp, no online map, it was impossible to use anymore.... Now I own Poco m4 pro 5G & I broke its screen after owning it for 3 years, I'll repubrish it & it will be Solid to use again...

Thank you for this video

Does the same apply to website designers?

Thin is the opposite of premium. Liok at art drawing paper. Thin paper falls apart unless your only tracing or doung oriental stuff. You want a thicker textured paper to hold up to any crazy art techniques the artist throws at it! Think about couches, you want a strong and soft couch, not a slim one. Slim is not premium. A premium screwdriver is chunky so you can grip it and power thuogh that screw. So phones and computers benefit from being chunky , due to heat sinc issues, battery spacing, soeaker placement, grip and user control surfaces and so so many other reasons. Premium is chunky!!!; ad agencies shoul absolutely RUN with thatctagline PREMIUM IS CHUNKY!!!!

7 minutes in: us? No. That's still them

Designing is fun, that's why we do it......

I think honesty in design means a design should be consistent. For example take Sushi or any other Japanese food. Sushi has a very deceptive presentation. Sushi(and other Japanese dishes like Bento Boxes) are presented with bright colors. This makes it seem to the consumer that it is a sweet dish. But when you take a bite you realize its actually not sweet at all and that experience is very jarring. I think this is what is meant (or should be meant) by dishonest design. Similarly, if a piece of metal mimics a wooden texture too accurately it will create a jarring experience on touch

Many people just buy things with a "NEW" sticker slapped on it and never put any thought into if it will continue to function years after or if it can even handle what it was designed for.

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the MAMACOO's watches are the most intriguing.

Your a friken legend wtf

12:22 That Patek you showed is closer to 1 million USD than to 40 k.

The real reason is that vast majority of consumers in fact don't care about repairability and the market aligns to that revealed preference. Every product is a compromise. There are products on the market that emphasize repairability. The reason why those are not dominant isn't corporate greed, it's that people want *other things*.

Great thumbnail

One could argue that corporate dysfunction is part of corporate greed, but either way this is a huge problem. Many companies, especially larger ones, have different teams and departments that don't talk to each other, and are managed by professional managers, not people that actually know how to do the work that's being done. Ideas will be rushed through to meet kpis, how many managers won't approve things just simply out of ego or they weren't in the mood to deal with that item that day. Typically management doesn't even care about the functionality of the project, especially because bonuses are tied to things that correlate directly with revenue coming in, and not secondary things. Yes corporate greed creates these kind of environments, put dysfunction is rampant across industry these days...

Nice text

Big thanks for yet another stellar video! Ever since reading The design of everyday things, industrial design only seems to get more and more interesting. Really cool to learn more about all the choices that play a part in getting to a final design, not just functionality and aesthetic. Your videos are great fun to watch all while learning a ton, thanks a lot! Would love to hear your thoughts on everyday objects or designs that have lasted long (mayby due to tradition or "okay enough" mentality) but might have become dated and could use an update or alternative.

Repairability and reliability are competing requirements. For repairability, you need a place where you can take it apart. That is also a place where it might fall apart. If you want your electronics to not break from impact, you can glue everything down with a thick layer of hard wax. That will also make it un-repairable if it does break.

Social pressure is a disease, im so glad imncured. Been sober from social idiocy 11 yrs now.

This is the first I’ve heard of them! Crazy.

As a socialist gen z American its also to do with capita'lism

Great video, and what a rare surprise to come across someone who doesn't mindlessly and quite wrongfully single Apple out to blame for planned obsolescence. I would add, that repairability, especially end user repairability, comes with a cost, not merely as you say, that the product is perhaps less sleek, has lower performance, and certainly is heavier (which by itself means it's had a greater environmental impact right out of the box, even if you never repair anything), but also that it breaks more easily and is likely to not last as long overall. Anecdotally, I've just replaced my iPhone SE (1st gen) after almost six years of use, because the screen finally got damaged in the 500th fall or so (including one *into* a toilet - I washed it off, and for a week or two the home button didn't work, so I had to use the touchscreen pop-up replacement instead). I have *not* taken good care of it, and for sure, nothing in it is user serviceable. But it still lasted almost twice as long as my previous phone, an android, which in that short lifespan wore down and ballooned two batteries, and for the last year of the three ran on an unupdated system because Samsung cut support for the model two years after I bought it new! (Meanwhile the latest software update for the 2016 iPhone SE, discontinued in 2018, came out just a few months ago) In other words, the phone where I could change the battery, has had at least three times the environmental impact of the phone where I could not, and equally two and a half to three times the cost to me, both measured per time. The SE still works as an alarm clock, and the old battery is good enough to last several days for that use. The point is, it's not merely all the legalities of user-serviceable parts that are in the way, it's not even the problem of compatibility with third party replacement parts, though that certainly is an issue as well (I've never had my camera go dead with open shutter in the middle of an exposure with an original Nikon battery, but that has happened with a third party replacement) it's simply that, to make parts replaceable or repairable by a non-specialist, it's necessary to add interface structures, both physical (i.e. more plastic) and electronic (i.e. extra circuits to conform communication between parts and protect against bad parts and bad installations), which all adds cost and weight, may also impact performance, and definitely adds parts that can break! (Taking cameras as an example again, before smartphones, compact and so-called "bridge" cameras were very widespread, indeed some people saw bridge cameras as the future for all except the most advanced amateurs and professional photographers. Both kinds had two things in common. They were smaller than an interchangeable lens camera of superficially comparable performance - and you couldn't change the lens. If you changed to a new camera, you got a new lens with it. Right up until smartphones proliferated, non-interchangeable lens cameras constituted the bulk of the camera market, partly because they were cheaper, on average - but you could get some very cheap interchangeable lens cameras - but mostly I believe because they were less bulky. And having carried around backpacks full of camera equipment, I can certainly sympathize with that feeling. With modern smartphones, bridge cameras are all but gone from the market, and only a few compacts remain, for serious photographers who do not always want to carry the full kit, but won't limit themselves to a smartphone, and for budding photographers who want to try a "real" camera but aren't ready to go full interchangeable lens, while interchangeable lens cameras reign supreme in the now much smaller market. I wonder how that, and all the rolls of film that are no longer developed, factor into the environmental balance sheet for smartphones...) The significance of all this depends a lot on what kind of item we're talking about, and very significantly on the size. Just imagine a pair of wireless in-ear headphones with a battery compartment to change the battery... I'd go so far as to say that smartphones are so small, that making them user-serviceable will ultimately reduce lifespan and cost both the user and environment more. I may be a strange case, systematically buying just discontinued models and keeping them until they break down, but then all this right-to-repair is only applicable to people who are willing to walk around with a years old model anyway. Indeed I'm sure it would do a lot more for the environment (and people's private finances) if that became the normal thing to do, changing only when the thing actually broke, or otherwise became functionally inadequate for the individual user, rather than when a new model came out in the current season's favoured colour. Finally, it's no problem buying a computer where the user can replace and upgrade pretty much all parts. They're readily available and they even offer some of the best performance! But most people now don't want big boxes with separate screen and keyboard. Even if they don't ever take it anywhere, they prefer a laptop that can be closed and put away in a desk drawer (even if they never actually put it away either). And that's ultimately the problem with right-to-repair. Most people will enthusiastically say that it should be possible to repair stuff, rather than buy and throw away, but when they are actually given the choice - and they do indeed have the choice, right now - almost all will take the small and sleek non-repairable item rather than the big bulky and easily repaired model. Don't get me wrong - I'm all for removing artificially created hindrances to repair, when they have no technically sound justification. I'm just not too keen on enforcing user-serviceability, that most users will never take advantage of anyway, if and when it results in an inferior product, increased cost, and increased environmental impact.
