The truth is, customer are not interested in device which are reparable (replacing batteries for example) by them self. Customer like to buy new device on a regular base. If you don't like to replace your device early, there are options like #Fairphone (I my self own a Fairphone 4). European regulation can't change anything about that.
Okay just throwing that in.
EU wants to require smartphone companies to let users replace batteries, instead of buying a new phone.
But the phone companies won’t just accept that and will resist & trying to find backdoors 🤔
Discussed that with nostr:npub1fq8vrf63vsrqjrwqgtwlvauqauc0yme6se8g8dqhcpf6tfs3equqntmzut yesterday, crazy that its more profitable to design a new phone, instead of investing longterm and saving the money instead.
What are your thoughts on this?
