Summary:
- The European Union is introducing new rules for smartphones starting in 2025. These rules aim to make smartphones more durable and easier to repair.
- The new rules require smartphone manufacturers to provide at least 7 years of software updates and spare parts for their devices. This means smartphones will last longer and be less likely to become obsolete.
- The goal of these rules is to reduce electronic waste and make smartphones more environmentally friendly. Consumers will be able to use their devices for a longer period of time before needing to replace them.
