No, we all fully expect it to be expensive. Manufacturers didn't move away from repairable devices for nothing; it's cheaper to manufacture and design something that doesn't ever get taken apart. It also helps ensure that your customers switch to a new product once their old one breaks.

Considering that I've bought $15 Tracphones with a replaceable battery and SD card slot, I think those poorer households will be okay. It's better than the government buying them garbage that was designed to be obsolete from the start.
