I bought a new mobile phone a year ago, which was working fine, but now it suddenly starts slowing down right before a new model comes out

I've heard that software updates are what make cell phones slower.

Instead of making products wear out on purpose, companies should try new pricing models, product ecosystems, trade-in programs, and repair services.

Exactly! Especially the repair service part. Lately I've noticed that people are no longer interested in repairing things and prefer to throw them away and buy new ones, even when the damage is something that can be fixed.
