And be out of support after 2 years? No thank you. Xperia is overpriced and Sony dropping its expensive phones from support left and right. After 10+ years with Android vendors should've put in the work to support their handsets in a streamlined fashion at least with security/OS core level updates relatively effortlessly. They didn't, Sony sure didn't. Apple is the only vendor with decent support, sadly.
Regardless of what the court supports, this outcome is the direct effect of the court's ruling although it is not proportional to the scope of the ruling. Admittedly, I phrased it in a catchy manner.
Fabulous :S The second time in 6 months German courts violated the public interest and ruled in favour of vested corporate intrests with an affect on me:
* In late 2017, a useless commercial weather forecast outlet (aggregating its data itself from national institutations!) sued the German National Weather service into having to take down its free weather app from the Apple and Goole app stores (development and operations funded with tax payer money!) and charge a fee for it. Somehow the judges got convinced that the Service unduly competed with a third-rate commercial information service.
* In early 2018, the courts lock out the public from a vast aggregate of literature in the public domain.
I'm sure I'll have a fresh item to continue the list soon.
