Don't call me an idiot when you cannot use punctuation and generally have horrible grammar.

'I laugh at you sir.'

Mechanize wrote Dude all companies secretly do this! There will never be a xbox/tablet ect that will last more than 10 years even taking care of it!

Their are still plenty of original Xbox consoles still in circulation and in full working order. They are older than 10 years. I have an SNES which is still in full working order and is almost 25 years old. That's a false claim/statement.

OP-My dad had a classic iPod which he bought almost immediately after it was released. He went to update the firmware one day through iTunes and it broke his iDevice. Basically, the latest firmware at the time was built to brick devices which were known to have no warranty. My dad went to the Apple store and was told that he'd have to purchase a new iDevice and that his current one was broken and couldn't be fixed. I had a 4th generation iPod touch, when the 5th generation was released, the 4th gen started to become drastically slower. iOS 7 wasn't even released for the 4th generation iPod touch models and they aren't even that old. Apple are just money-hungry IMHO.

I couldn't barely use my Iphone 3GS now it's broken..

For sure a hardcore conspiracy!

The screws aren't custom you can get them out with a small enough flathead screwdriver and the new batteries cost $5 USD minimum on ebay.

this isn't really a conspiracy, as stated before, all companies do this ^^

A lot of big companies do this in one way or another, even if its something small like changing the charging cord, its to generate more revenue for producers, thats all it is, I would call it a conspiracy more like being a company, no company is 100% honest or for the consumer that's how it is. Apple may be a bigger C*nt than other big names but they do, do it. For Example microsoft made it so the newer consoles get certain game types because the 360 cant handle it which is false. Or Samsung making the charging port different.
