Your phone breaks. Your washing machine gives up. Somehow, buying new seems cheaper than repairing.
The EU is making the Right to Repair the new standard in Europe.
✅Repairs must be offered even after your warranty ends
🔧Parts must be available after the model is no longer sold
📅Choose repair under warranty and get an extra year of legal coverage
📍An EU platform will help you find local repair shops and fair prices
Less waste, more repairs. Good for your wallet, even better for the planet.
To say the least, I’ll have to buy a 900 USD device and use it for 10 years instead of buying 3x300 USD devices each 3 year. This is the current situation with most phones and tablets which come from China.
I think you’re posting from pre-RAM shortage times. We might be looking at buying 900 USD phones and keeping them for more than 3 years in the very near future anyway.
Maybe we’ll get less e-waste out of EU-mandated right-to-repair parts manufacturing and “influx”… hopedully not more.

I don’t think RAM shortage will last for too long. Also I’m fine with 8GB of RAM if me phone runs mainlinux Linux. Actually 8GB is extra.
