Good thing that the EU is planning on mandating the amount of updates phones need to get[0]. It should cut down on the amount of phone model spam - or at least they get updated and not abandoned. The regulators have suggested that phone vendors provide at least five years of security updates and three years of OS updates to their devices. Moreover, the said security and operating system updates should reach users “at the latest two months after the public release.” EDIT: it seems that te initiative has already passed: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/12797-Designing-mobile-phones-and-tablets-to-be-sustainable-ecodesign_en https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-sa...
