    To cut costs!

    I had an iPhone X with an Apple black leather case for 4 years and it was good, now I have the iPhone 14 with an Apple purple leather case for over a year and it’s mostly lost color and became black, but the integrity is ok.

          Ouch. But yeah, I totally get it: if it’s still cheaper to just replace it a lot, that’s valid. Either people not buying it or people replacing it a lot (for free) should hypothetically have the same effect for Apple.

          Edit: unless the cost of the Apple case up front is significantly higher than other options! In which case the math may not work out cleanly. And of course, the time taken for the warranty stuff = money.
