Critical Bluetooth vulnerability in Android

Unless I'm missing something, it's only for 2 years after purchase?

"The legal guarantee covers any defects presumed to have existed at the time of delivery and which become apparent within a period of two years. However, the crucial period is the 6 months after you bought your product:"

So I'm assuming the bulk of older phones would no longer be covered?

That's the absolute EU mandated minimum. Per country it can be stricter. Also, generally businesses are expected to do somewhat better than "the bare minimum that makes you not want to demand your money back".

Since when? Economic theory explains that they are expected to do no more than that, or else they'd leave money on the table.

Here in Norway I think it is, but be prepared to argue for it.
