It's all about consumerism and getting customers to repeatedly spend on your product, and to think that dropping $300+ on an iPhone (model dependant of course) isn't enough! Here here for poorly made products and we're almost entering 2010.

Everything is disposable these days... Tell me about it! Apple did replace my iPhone. However, the second one developed cracks in the same area within a month!

Everything these days seems to be built for the short term. The engineers at Apple need to pick up the pace a little, especially considering the 'cracking' is now an epidemic amongst iPhone owners.
