Probably the worst problem it’s not about physical repair but about software programmed obsolescence… and it’s not about the govt but about greedy corps which want to sell you a phone per year.
Maybe the govt should make them extend the software support for at least 5 years or something. But I believe they wouldn’t at the end they take advantage of it, more sells more money for the govt.
While Apple has many issues, their support of older phones is really good. You can replace the battery once and still use the same phone for at least 5-6 years.
My current phone is 4.5 years old and still going strong, with latest software versions.
If you want this, the market offered you solutions. I have a phone from 2019 that’s too slow, I would not want to use it in 2016 so I wouldn’t need 7 years of updates. They should not be forced on vendors who release budget phones

Not bad at all, let’s hope they don’t do anything to deliberately make you have to buy new equipment.
Like, say, slow down an older phone so one has to buy a new faster phone? Source
It’s been like this for a very long time, but you gotta hate somewhere I guess
Google already offers 7 years
