Well if we're swapping worthless anecdotes... all my Samsung (and other brand) phones still work. Almost all of them have replaceable batteries, and all of them have headphone sockets!
It's telling that you didn't address the "consumer-hostile" part.
i own an iPhone 5 since day 1, and it still works perfectly fine today, even the battery
go ask samsung, acer or toshiba if you want to complain about "disposable crap"
