Every year, sleek, high-tech products flood the market, promising better performance and more advanced features. But beyond the glossy advertisements lies a troubling reality: these new devices are often designed with built-in limitations to force replacements. From Apple’s iPods and iPhones, with integrated batteries that users can’t replace, to Samsung TVs that conveniently break down after a few years, this documentary exposes the hidden strategies driving consumerism.
The investigation goes further, revealing that many older models were not only more durable but often superior in performance. For example, the picture quality of cathode ray TVs surpassed that of newer LCDs, yet consumers are lured into believing newer is always better. By limiting the lifespan of their products, big brands like Apple are accused of prioritizing profit over sustainability and customer value.
Through expert interviews, real-life examples, and shocking revelations, Built to Break examines the ruthless business model of programmed obsolescence, uncovering its environmental, financial, and ethical implications. This documentary challenges viewers to rethink their relationship with technology and the true cost of chasing the latest gadgets.
