You cannot infinitely reinvent a brick (smartphone). Due to entropy and resource degradation, each reinvention moves the system closer to thermodynamic equilibrium—where no useful work or innovation can occur. While technology allows for many iterations—through recycling, remanufacturing, or software evolution—the number of reinventions is fundamentally limited by the laws of thermodynamics.

So, how many times can you reinvent a brick?
Not infinitely. Only as long as usable energy and ordered matter remain—and that number is finite.

What really kills me is how out of touch they seem to be with actual users

All I want is a phone that has good battery life, decent specs, and that doesn't immediately fucking die if I drop it. That's it. I don't need it to be as thin as my credit card, I don't need the world's most fragile glass display.

The use case is "small electronic device capable of being put in someone's pocket, able to withstand daily use in tough conditions". Why can't manufacturers understand that
