Every moving part, every mechanical switch, every mechanical connector, these are the parts that are the most expensive to build, esp. if you want to make them last (more than a couple of years). Countless are the "smart" phones that, after the warranty runs out, are perfectly fine except for the power switch, or the USB connector (charger).
