Cars and computers are quite different in terms of their components and life-cycles.
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoPleaae demonstrate at least one occasion where making a device repairable increased waste
- zepto 6y agoAndroid phones are much more repairable e.g. with replaceable batteries and non-drm parts. Despite this, they have have less than half the useful lifetime of an iPhone, and so generate much more waste.
- tpxl 6y agoThey may have a lower useful lifetime, but that is completely unrelated to their repairability.
- zepto 6y agoThis is false. iPhones are built to last longer by being more physically integrated, and the trade off is that they are less repairable.
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoThis is complete fantasy, there is no evidence that iphones are more physically resillient that a $150 crappy android phone. I asked for evidence, not talking mumbobo-jumbo out of your rear
- tpxl 6y agoEssentially every Android phone will reach EOL because of software, not because of hardware. I still use a 10 year old android phone running android 4, and while the hardware is damaged, the software is what keeps it back. iPhones last longer because their software lasts longer.
