Explanation:

Planned obsolescence is a strategy used by companies whose goal is to ensure the outdated product and the release of an updated version of the product to arouse the interest of consumers and consequently an increase in demand for the product with greater functionality.

There are several market sectors that use the planned obsolescence strategy, which can be noticed in technology companies, which require more frequent product replacements (smarthphones, computers, tablets ...) due to the wear and tear of physical components and operating system upgrades. generally requires larger features less compatible with previous hardware.
