    PC magazine[^]:

    The European Parliament just caused a major headache for smartphone and tablet manufacturers

    I don’t think the charge on mine will last until then

      I wonder what are manufacturers coming around the corner to be next cause for changing hardware...

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          In Norway, the latest thing is the emergency messages broadcast by the authorities. We had our first test last week. One survey, with 55k responses indicated that 45% had not received the message. Another source said that 35% of iPhones, 61% of Androids, have a too old OS to receive the messages. That seems to roughly match 45% from that first survey. I guess lots of those who have not updated their OS, can not upgrade their OS. I've got a fairly new Samsung, bought early spring 2016, but OS updates haven't been available for years. So it seems like I will never get these emergency warnings. Unless they pass a law mandating smartphone update at least every 3 years, or something like that.

            Or they could pass a regulation that applied to the government - use the oldest version of Android that will cover 99% of the phones. Google publishes this information for free to developers.
