I agree. We need something like this in the US. By law, electronic products sold in EU carries 2yrs warranty and I always wondered why U.S has only 1yr warranty

I agree. We need something like this in the US. By law, electronic products sold in EU carries 2yrs warranty and I always wondered why U.S has only 1yr warranty. I can think of an incident where my laptop crapped out right after a year of purchase but the manufacturer was nice enough to repair it for free.
With phones running $800+ nowadays, i would expect it to last longer (3yrs min.) like a laptop.
- boobsbr 9y agoMy HTC One M7 is 4 years old now, and still works perfectly. Battery life is not awesome but still lasts a full day with light 4G usage. I don't get software updates anymore, but that isn't an issue for me. I know that when the battery dies for good, or if the display shatters, I probably won't have a way to repair it, and that is bad because I really don't need a new phone. Availability and cost of spare parts, and ease of repair should be major decision factors for people buying electronics. It already is the case for cars.
