Right to repair movement gains power in US and Europe

In Switzerland you are allowed to change your battery without loosing your warranty. I am sure this factor creates a cost overhead for phone creators here in Switzerland. If more countries would enforce rules like this, they would likely be forced to make it easier again.

How long are your phone warranties?

I guess this depends on where you buy it and how you pay. But I haven't seen less than a year, normal seems to be about 2 and many pay like $30 extra to extend this to 4 years. My bank currently offers 6 years, but no idea how this actually works.
