Tweet from twitter @ iPhoneMania_jp September 7, 2021 16:31 Approximately 1 minute 53 seconds German government tells the European Union (EU) that Apple will extend the repair support period of iPhone to 7 years from the release I'm proposing. This proposal is said to reduce the environmental burden by extending the product life, but smartphone makers' groups oppose the proposal too much.

Parts and security

The German Ministry of Economy is proposing to the EU that manufacturers will be responsible for requiring the supply of security updates and repair parts for seven years after the launch of the new iPhone (smartphone). In addition, manufacturers are also required to supply repair parts at low cost, and the German government's proposal is a major step forward from the current situation. In the EU, proposals to impose software updates and supply of repair parts on manufacturers for 5 years on smartphones and 6 years on tablets are being discussed, but this proposal by the German government greatly exceeds this period. I am. By the way, the industry group of smartphone makers participating in Apple, Samsung, Huawei, etc. has proposed to provide security updates for 3 years and function updates for 2 years , and opposed this proposal by the German government as overkill. I am. However, from the viewpoint of environmental protection, the German government aims to reduce the environmental load generated in the manufacture and transportation of smartphones by using one product for a long time, and Apple, which aims to reduce the environmental load by manufacturing products, also does this. You may not be able to ignore the suggestion. In connection with the right to repair currently being discussed in the United States, the issue of repair response and security update response time can also have a significant impact on Apple's product strategy.
