Yes, and now you're back to being upset with them for acting like a corporation selling a luxury commodity rather than a public utility.
They don't have to do business the way you want them to. And all the lawsuits do is cement their position as a private club product, thereby ensuring those they cater to feel like they're fucking special. Add another dozen lawsuits, add another dozen dollars to the price of the cheapest models. All you're doing is pushing them further and further out of reach.
No matter how much you miss your Windows phone, expecting Apple to take their place is sheer folly. They made their market out of whole cloth, by being what rich people want. They don't care if you and I can't afford the product, and they don't have to care either. Period.
And then you bring up the king of Product Abandonment, Samsung, as an example of taking care of customers...? Puhhhh-leeeeze.

You're putting a completely different slant on things, you could not further from the truth if you really tried, I don't want Apple to replace the Windows Phone, I never have and never said that either. I just liked the Windows phone when I had one and liked the features built into the OS and the camera did have some unique features that liked.
When it comes to it, I'm extremely happy with my current Huawei phone and that will continue to be my daily driver and the camera on it is superb, trust me. If I spend my money on something, then that thing becomes mine to do what I want to do with it, I don't expect or appreciate the maker deciding that they will remove my right to recharge my phone as a result of their ultra care package as you see it, or as I see it, building that wall around their garden even higher.
I have never seen in any agreement when you buy something that you cannot take it apart or anything. If I was leasing the item, fair enough, but I'm not. But clearly if you do take it apart and break it then you forfeit the right to a free repair and that is how it should be and in my defence (not that I've taken it apart), it is now almost 6 years old and long passed its warranty period.
Apart from, as someone else once said, you always put your view on everything as the definitive answer, you change your suit to suit yourself. I say this because this is the Dwagon we are talking about here is it not, and that Dwagon that we all love and is normally so anti corporation and establishment as its possible to get, even moving to the GWN to escape corruption in the USA 
Lets draw a line in the sand here and move on, I refuse to enter into an argument over something neither of us has any control over. 
This is the nutshell. Something neither of us have any control over.I bought a new iPud for my daughter expecting to get at least 4 years out of it, being it was brand-new. When it died well short of that, I got mad... at first at them for them for acting like a corporation, but in truth I was deflecting the blame from myself. Hating a corporation for acting like a corporation is like hating a fish for living in the water.
I expected them to provide the premium dick-sucking service even tho I hadn't paid for it, then got mad at them because they didn't. Bottom line is I could've bought fAppleCare, but I was sure nothing would happen to MY iPud, what with me taking care of it and it living in a OtterBox from minute one.
But all of that grief and frustration was my own fault. For expecting a corporation to not act like a corporation.
And you know what? I've learned my lesson. Next time Apple makes a offer like the Christmas 2018 iPud for $329, I'll probably buy one. Or even two. But I will also buy the premium dick-sucking service, and keep it as in force long as I plan to keep the device. Or at least as long as it costs less than a good condition working used iWTF-ever.
