So many resources could be saved... (discuss.tchncs.de)

Todays electronics is fast. Imagine how much natural resources could be saved if manufacturers delivered software support until device is truly unusable due to hardware limitations.

This post is being written on 3 years old flagship killer that has never dropped any frame, reached 0% battery or crashed but wont get system updates anymore because...

seemingly 3 years old 7nm flagship SoC is too weak to be used for next decade?

Alternative ROM?

Very good alternative but this pushes the responsibility on the end user. Manufacturers should instead adjust their destructive approach on hardware and software. Our phones are built to break at the first fall and now we all have to buy cases to protect them, and if they survive long enough well it's the software that becomes obsolete... how silly is that

Do you think things like Fairphone are a step in the right direction?
