Phones cannot have non-updated software due to another EU Regulation: Cyber Resilience Act. You need to support devices at least for 5 years starting from December 2027.

		And after 5 years? My phone runs mainline Linux and thus will have lifetime updates, just like my laptop.

If it's a choice between no phone and an old, software-EOL phone I can't blame them.

Frankly so long as my browser, VPN and mail app are updated I'm happy.
