I was watching a copy of a movie recently, for research purposes or something else that is definitely legal, and I noticed the audience reacting to some scenes or talking to each other. What I found interesting is that they were surprisingly not disruptive of the main audio which made me think either the equipment is very good or some editing was done.
Edit: I want to clarify that I'm aware Kentucky is not a country. The post title has limited characters and I kept having to remove words to fit.

I was wondering if the reasons were technical, economical, a mix of both or something else. An old PC or Mac can last for more than a decade while smartphones may become bricks due to non replaceable batteries and lack of feature/security updates in a few years. Is the answer as simple as planned obsolescence? Or do smartphones have something particular about them that reduces their useful life?
