Who cares about fancy clean rooms and spectacular looking manufacturing plants in a video. Apple's failure rates across all devices have been trending up consistently for the past few years. I think the stats are something like 20% of their laptops fail by the end of the second year, and 1 in 4 iPhones fail in under two years as well. Those are pretty significant "failure" rates - meaning "hardware" or "manufacturing" issues.
As far as phones go, let's not forget what hasty runs to release something have resulted in... battery issues, reception issues, bodies that bend, and more. So, again, I stick by my opinion that the real problem is rushing too fast to put something new out every 12-18 months, without proper R&D and QC. This leads to higher rates of failures and or issues. Facts have shown this to be true. Hell, this has even happened in the camera industry. I think that's the point of a few posters above... companies are using lesser QC to their profitable advantage. In the end, it just costs the consumers more.
After seven years, I finally experienced enough issues that I walked away from the iPhone. I know several others that feel the same way I do about it. It seems to be a growing trend.
