D. Every company on the planet stop having parts for
repairing old products and tech companies stop providing
software updates. (No, you can't run the latest version of
Android on an ancient phone either.) Even the "right to
repair" campaigns and laws are only for around a 10 year
timeframe.
You're wrong on every count since Apple only promises at least five years
of support fixes for all the bugs it knows about and only on one release.
Google & Samsung promise full support for at least seven years for all the
bugs it knows about and that covers up to seven android releases.
Only for their most recent phones...
...not all of them.
Apple = 1 release only, five years
Google/Samsung = 7 releases, seven years
