Portable electronics are compact, complicated devices that get subjected to ridiculous amounts of stress, shock and abuse on a daily basis starting when they leave the factory and float across the ocean.
Whether it's a car, a garbage disposal, a suitcase or a consumer electronic device, a reasonable individual cannot expect a product to last forever. Companies offer warranties on products to cover manufacturer defects and premature failure so that users are guaranteed to get their money's worth for a period of time that is chosen, by the manufacturer, after exhaustive consumer research to determine what will be acceptable to the consumer. Many companies offer extended warranties with a calcuated risk and the odds are in the house's favor... it's a gamble for the consumer but ultimately, it's the consumer's choice.
With RAPIDLY changing technology, it is ridiculous to expect any manufacturer, whether it be car makers or computer companies, to support products after their warranty period, especially when a
Google search results in at least a half a dozen reputable third party repair options for the educated consumer. I see no problem with removing support for an out of warranty product as it would be prohibitively expensive and logistically impossible for the manufacturer to stock, inventory and manage the hundreds, if not thousands of components needed to repair EVERY out of warranty product.
