This shouldn't be misunderstood as such, which I think you as 
misunderstanding it. The reason mobile sales are so high is 
because of planned obsolescence and the walled garden that these 
devices are built around. I've gone through maybe 3-4 phones in 
the time that I've had my Desktop, and I use my desktop every 
single day. I don't need to buy a new one cause it runs perfectly 
fine, there aren't operating system updates that purposely cause 
the CPU to run slower to "save battery life" when a new device 
and OS come out. That's not to say it isn't insignificant but the 
sales numbers are exacerbated.
