Apple iPhone

[Undertoad]

When landline phones were invented, they assumed that you would be with the same phone company for the next five decades.... because there WAS only one phone company.

That's why the phones you got were not only not dispensable, but they were positively unbreakable. Every appliance in your household has an expected life span, but it would be rare to find ANY original Western Electric desk model that doesn't still work as well as the day when it was manufactured.
