You never owned one of the amazingly strong Titanium PowerBooks I take it? Titanium was going to be a wonder material and they were utter dogs. Or how about the plastic MacBook cases that suffered from years of cracked cases? Or the years of power supply failures/(silent) recalls? Apple weighs cost of component and profit margin as much as anyone, probably more so, since their profit margins are so high. Sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't.
Doesn't mean the materials chosen for the new iPhone won't be a success, but pretending every device is free from major, not even minor, defect is a little silly.
