This is rubbish like, certainly hasn’t been the case with iPhones for a long time. Phone cases are for lasses and old menSmartphones are some of the worse for planned obsolescence.
Non-user changeable batteries is the biggest joke, along with the fact that the first thing you have to buy is a case and a screen protector because the things are so femma.
We aren't talking cheap though . Everything we buy no matter the price is shite .Buy cheap, buy twice (at least).
I've never seen anyone out and about with a smartphone that isn't in a case.This is rubbish like, certainly hasn’t been the case with iPhones for a long time. Phone cases are for lasses and old men
Not denying it. Manufacturers to blame but the pace of technology dictates that it's just not worthwhile producing anything of quality as it will probably be obsolete in a few years.We aren't talking cheap though . Everything we buy no matter the price is shite .
We had that when the bairns were young, now that they are older they are actually lastingOne thing I'm sick of is headsets for the Xbox for the bairn. Seems like every one we buy (varying price ranges) break after a few weeks or months, generally due to the microphone bit not working. I'm careful to make sure he uses it properly, it's stored away when he's not using it, but every one breaks. Absolute shite!
100% electrical goods are. Washers, fridge freezers etc are made to break soon after the warranty runs out….maybe rose tinted eggs but stuff isn't built as good these days either, not everything but quite a bit. I've had 2 ninja air fryers, first one was solid and you could clearly see it was well made, this newer one feels much cheaper, more plastic, even down to the button clicks.
Furniture is another.
There will be a part of it that's planned, but a lot of it is just using poor quality materials or components, or skimping on the solder, using capacitors that are only rated at x degrees for y amount of time etc.
Whereas my Apple Watch launch version was obsolete within 2 years. My iPad, launch, got dumped after 2 or 3 too.The latest one will support phones released six years ago and older ones will still work if you don't do the update. A line has to be drawn somewhere.
Ive worked in id say in every argos store in the north east and the back end and its a fcking disgrace its carnage and simply not enough people to do the job..I love Argos, but some of their stores are no better than a market stall. Had some items in awful condition from them. I bought a bin once and they dragged it straight out the back, thick of scratches and dust and just assumed that was okay.
The one in Alnwick is class though.
Doesn’t surprise me, some of them are shocking and utterly filthy.Ive worked in id say in every argos store in the north east and the back end and its a fcking disgrace its carnage and simply not enough people to do the job..
I make my bed every morning, tomorrow I’m taking the pile of rubbish back to IKEA.Just saying this today everything we buy whether expensive or cheap is just shite . Ive been building the bairns beds today, they looked decent in the shop but they comes as a flat pack and just seems shite quality. Really can't be arsed to pack them back up and send them back.
It closed down and moved to Sainsbury's.I love Argos, but some of their stores are no better than a market stall. Had some items in awful condition from them. I bought a bin once and they dragged it straight out the back, thick of scratches and dust and just assumed that was okay.

Spot on.Planned obsolescence
Usually cheap stuff from China
Quite often its designed to fail, for you to re-buy it again later….it’s their business model
Best off going elsewhere first
