Smart phones. I freely admit I am a reluctant smart phone user and only have one for its phone capability, the "What3Words" app and occasionally the banking app. I find that Android is clunky, not intuitive (from a PC viewpoint) and now I find that my Motorola G50 currently stuck on Android s/w 12 cannot be updated to s/w 15 (the latest version), nor will it get security updates.

The phone is about 4 years old and that, apparently, is slightly above the life expectancy of a typical phone (typically 2.5-3 years). I have to reboot at least once a week for various reasons. Sluggish or no response, stuck apps etc.
In 2022 5.3 billion smart phones were estimated to be thrown away. This is just stupid.
