Buy the current/older models if any are available? Or get it fixed, depending on exactly what broke. Or go back to using (gasp!) normal phones!Until it broke.
Then what?

Yeah, there would be a lot of going back in general. And by the way you would be paying for it as much as for the new smartphones.Or go back to using (gasp!) normal phones!

And you base this on what? Especially related to normal phones.None would be.
No parts to do so.
No supply.

To be fair the reason they break down so often is because of capitalism and planned obsolescence. The company is not trying to make the best products they are trying to sell the most they can they did studies on how often they should break before people consider it too crappy. If there were regulations to force them to improve standards that problem would be lessened.>get it fixed
Have you ever fixed modern electronics, or even paid for a repair more complicated than "exchange component x for replacement ordered off ebay"?

Hahahahaha, no it isn't.
If you seriously think that, you may aswell go try preach your politics to anarkiddies, lol.To be fair the reason they break down so often is because of capitalism and planned obsolescence.
Go enjoy using non-capitalist electronics from China, North Korea or Cuba.The company is not trying to make the best products they are trying to sell the most they can they did studies on how often they should break before people consider it too crappy.

You are saying this isn’t real, companies take the same pride in their work as craftsmen and make their products as good as they can?
Umm what I “preach” is not communism unless you are going full retard and say that the French and EU are communists. I simply think the US should copy some of those European regulations.If you seriously think that, you may aswell go try preach your politics to anarkiddies, lol.
The intellectual value of what you presented here is of this caliber.

Some will break as much or more as the capitalist ones, others don't exist
Then stop sounding like that.Umm what I “preach” is not communism unless you are going full retard and say that
No, they are half-communists and proportionally retarded. This shit is why the French now have to whine about not having their own Silicon Valley.the French and EU are communists. I simply think the US should copy some of those European regulations.
Not quite, it's specifically high-end chips that are obnoxiously sensitive this way. We actually have most of the "low-level" consumer electronics chip supply chain available between Canada, the continental US, and Mexico, but are something like a solid decade behind for "high level" smartphone, PC, and infrastructure worthy chips because the economics of scale are utterly mandatory to keep up.Basically everything you do in daily life will cease should we lose chips
I do not know the details (the "10 years behind" was admittedly an ass-pull, but we haven't had any structural changes for quite a few hardware generations), I just know quite certainly we have some amount that cannot be "high level" between my older brother working at one such place and the thoroughly-obscene cost of the transistor count rat-race. And I can't fish up the data because the search engines spit out a wall of investment bullshit.How do we make those chips?

Not to anywhere near the extent as the obscene money-pit of the treadmill to get to the "big fancy ones", and you don't need the R&D budget since you're just rebuilding what's already invented nor the continuous stream of retoolings for the latest iterative improvements because you're leapfrogging along a path already paved. 2010 once made its 2011 successor, but might make the jump to 2014 capabilities when you backport 2023 understanding.The stuff to make those simple ones need thr big fancy ones
A lot of the problems with chips can be avoided in the long run with hardier, more robust tech, and keeping chips as simple as possible, instead of trying to continuously up the count on switches/transistors.
There is a lot to be said for tech that cannot be hacked and also is more robust against things like EMPs/Carrington events.
Diesel punk/steampunk/vacuum tube/non-networked type tech has some very definite advantages in some areas for both cybersecurity and just ease of production, and doesn't require super advanced foundries to make.
