Companies don't and won't really do it unless as a marketing plot. The very thing that keeps technology moving forward is the fact we buy stuff and thus fund the near-term research of something better.
Of course that's not to say some stuff can't last for even decades. Just that, specially as far as electronics are concerned, that's still unlikely. Maybe in the coming decades when Moore's law is no more, I don't know.
