How the longevity score works
Each device gets a 0–100 longevity score — higher means it'll stay useful and fixable longer:
- Repairability (40%) — the official EU A–E class. A is easiest to fix, E hardest.
- OS-update years left (30%) — how many years of guaranteed software updates remain. 6+ years scores full marks.
- Spare-parts years left (20%) — how long the maker must keep parts available. 8+ years scores full marks.
- Battery endurance (10%) — rated charge cycles to 80% capacity (or the EU endurance class).
Dates shown are regulatory floors ("supported until at least …") — the guarantee clock runs from when a model stops being sold, so real support usually lasts longer. Missing fields show "Not specified" and are excluded from the score (never guessed).
The longevity score is our own metric for comparing devices — it is not an official EU rating. Only the underlying fields (repairability class, update/parts dates, battery, IP) come from EPREL.
