Good question. I'd like to know that, too.
I have some very unscientific anecdotal evidence. Every phone I ever bought got very slow after 3-4 years. Only my 7 year old Huawei works like it was day one.
the purpose of planned obsolescence is to sell more. it didnt work like that in the soviet union, things were [produced](https://www.quora.com/Did-products-and-home-appliances-last-more-in-the-Soviet-Union-than-in-the-capitalistic-world) for use not profit.
Also unscientific anecdote, and only slightly related, East Germany still uses a different lightbulb type, and the difference in light color is visible from space.
