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?

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.
