Devices definitely can be fixed in this industry, especially older ones.

I'm very opposed to anti-repair features of modern devices but I'm not sure what that's got to do with my comment? If you get a good device you can use it for many years even without needing to repair it.

Most people don't replace a device because it's broken beyond repair (especially Apple users), rather they replace it because it's more than a few days old and they want a new one...
