To be absolutely fair, after the iPhone 4, they could and should have totally focused on repairability above everything else.

Sure we got some more pixels out of cameras but that's not much when you've got to throw them away after X years.

Why? They almost certainly would have spent extra money on R&D and seen lower sales (due to sacrificing performance, battery life, durability, water resistance, etc) as a result. What would have been the incentive for them to do so?
