If a handheld device cannot withstand being dropped, it’s planned obsolescence (feddit.de)

Wine glasses, yeah. And other drink glasses too. But yeah, I assume you mean handheld electronics, which even that is a stretch. Handheld CD players, camcorders, cameras, are all pretty fragile and I wouldn’t say they’re planned obsolescence. You just gotta be careful with fragile things. We use our phones way more often than any electronic device from the past, so more chance to drop them and notice how fragile they are.
