We could have taken that approach with cars as well. Who needs more than 20HP anyway? We should have just kept repairing the Model T and been happier with what we have, right?
Maybe the EU πͺπΊ should legislate that German car companies should cease to produce new cars and instead commit to repairing what they have already produced, for free presumably?
Take your disgust at this post and now apply it to what you're talking about π.
This response is nonsensical. Auto manufacturers support their vehicles for decades after a car is made.
Your car gets serviced for free for decades after you've bought it? Damn I've been ripped off all these years.
You pay to get your car serviced but with your phone you don't even have that option. When the manufacturer drops support, you don't even have the option to pay for prolonged software support.
Car manufacturers also tend to make parts available for decades. They tend to be pretty reasonably priced too.
And there is a large selection of different manufacturers that can make these parts once the OEM stops. Try to find a company that is making and stocking a 5 year old phone display, camera module, etc
That would be a fair comparison if i could replace my screen or camera for free. You pay for the parts and the labor either way.
