I haven't seen a US made car in ages in my country, US cars are too big and unsafe. They all are European or Japanese.

Re:With a $1k Price, Apple’s iPhone Crosses a Threshold on Monday September 11, 2017 @02:54AM (#15216527)
I see your 6 year young iPhone and raise my 14 year old Nokia 1100. I bought it new in 2003 80~ dolla. It still works flawlessly, the battery is fine as well (~31 days of normal use on a single charge or ~16 hours of screen time). If the battery were to fail I could just replace it, no tools required.

Oh, the thing is bulletproof (although it must be taken with a grain of salt, chuck norrys managed to break the glass on his after about three years).

In other words, it does not take an expensive iPhone to last longer than a contract period. Well-built phones can last a long time, much longer than the 10 years which most people seem to consider as normal.
