Ironically such failures are all done to keep share holders happy, afterall these multi-nationals already got our money, the quicker the device gets outdated the quicker you buy another.

Personally, I could give you all a list of crooks that i no longer do business with, following personal bad experiences, even if they may appear to be better value for money.

In this case, we can either put up with such critical product limitations or eventually go with a more productive brand next time but with another whole range of new issues. To give you an example, computer hardware parts, I personally have found chinese or in some cases unbranded products out there to offer support for latest technologies, at a fraction of the price of outdated named brands, in other words big brands take our money, but are not any better. of course not all products are same
