    Nope. Nobody actually cares or reads this stuff. None of you understand how the average person shops.

    It'll make little difference for the vast majority and do nothing like "shake up" industry. You are being targeted for clicks and some users dopamine when he gets a bunch of techies riled up and up voting.

    Guess we should disband the euro parliament and just ask your opinion from now on

    The EU and all governments have never done ANYTHING at all that was pointless or ineffective. NEVER!

    I don't even fucking care that it's a thing, I said it won't shake up shit and a barrage of cell phone nerds read too much into my comment. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    If competition drives innovation and customer savings, then having an easy metric to compare devices is fantastic for consumers.

    Cars have 0-60, mpg or range, engine size etc, why not the same for a phone.

    You clearly have no clue how little the average car buyer researches before going to a dealership.

    It's not that the information can't be useful, it's that Monday cares and it won't make any meaningful effect.

    It won't shake up anything. It'll barely make a dent in buying habits.

    Itโ€™s about giving the engineering people and the marketers ammunition for the management. Hey, you know that if we donโ€™t improve on efficiency and the materials we use we will have to get a rating of x while our main rivals are a y. Euro NCAP has the same effect.

    I pay attention to that stuff. Would it be better if more people shopped thoughtfully? Sure. But it's not "nobody" and if manufacturers know that such and such a metric impacts sales by even 5% then they'll probably try to improve it. Even if they don't try to improve it, it means I personally can buy in a more informed way.
