Along long time ago, things worked for inperpetuity, if you took care of them...This phone is only 4 years old. I paid what I think is alot of money for it. I have a washing machine I bought 2 years ago for two hundred dollars and it still works. I have a car I bought 9 years ago and it still works. I have a super eight camera I bought 40 years ago and it still works.I have 4 macs, a G4, a 2013 imac, a 2013 mac mini and a brand new laptop, and guess what! They all work! The "members"who have made comments, and that's all you did - except one, have only been venting yourselves and sounds like you've bought into the brainwashing. Throw it away! Make more junk for our children's children to have to deal with...out of sight, out of mind. You all have been focusing on the CAS. well it surely got your attention. Sounds like you all own shares of AAPL, with such passion you have to defend Apple. I own Apple Stock. I know how much they make and I expect them to stand behind a 4 year old product. And BTW, they are remeding the situation the way a company with any integrety should.. Not only have the wheels not fallen off, but the squeaky wheel always gets the grease. signing off. and thanks for all your positive feedback!
It was a ploy, and it got everyone's attention. - and I guess it worked! Thanks again

Not the case now. I have had to replace 2 dishwashers, a range, and other items less than 2 years old.
Not in this universe. I’ve likely been around a heck of lot more years than you, and nothing made by humans last forever, absolutely nothing! You have an iPhone 7 that was released in 2016. Electronics, especially electronics you carry around all the time, eventually wear out. Your warranty had long expired, and you apparently chose not to buy an extended warranty. Get over it, buy a new phone, buy an extended warranty, and move on.
