So many resources could be saved... (discuss.tchncs.de)

Todays electronics is fast. Imagine how much natural resources could be saved if manufacturers delivered software support until device is truly unusable due to hardware limitations.

This post is being written on 3 years old flagship killer that has never dropped any frame, reached 0% battery or crashed but wont get system updates anymore because...

seemingly 3 years old 7nm flagship SoC is too weak to be used for next decade?

I changed from a pixel 6 that I loved to a pixel 8 (I love it too) only because changing phones for a new contract gave cost me 20$ less and gave me 60Gig of data instead of 20. So I got a better phone, more data and a cheaper bill for changing to a new phone.

If I wanted to keep the pixel 6 I needed to pay 168$ and keep my old contract.

Why can't I get the same deal without changing.

P.S. I'm in Canada. Was 76$ a month now is 55$.
