To say the least, I'll have to buy a 900 USD device and use it for 10 years instead of buying 3x300 USD devices each 3 year. This is the current situation with most phones and tablets which come from China.

    I think you're posting from pre-RAM shortage times. We might be looking at buying 900 USD phones and keeping them for more than 3 years in the very near future anyway.

    Maybe we'll get less e-waste out of EU-mandated right-to-repair parts manufacturing and "influx"... hopedully not more.
