The instability around material security and consistency of supply of critical materials will have a big impact on product in the coming years. The bill of materials for most manufacturers is pushing 40% and I don't see this dropping soon. There will be a serious rethink around how we design, what we design and the business models required.
The new mac book could be seen as the antithesis of this point because it has been design with unrepairability/obsolescence in mind but that is an anomaly driven by the mindlessness that comes from a cash soaked design strategy.
