They design them that way. I sold cell phones and a lot of the popular ones are designed to last only 9 months, because research shows that demographic buys a new phone every 9 months anyway. Incredible. We've moved from planned obsolesence to just plain crap! Why make it good if all the consumer lunatics will just go buy a new one next year anyway? Grrr!
