Do You Know Your Phone’s Expiration Date?
<p></p> <img src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dcr-apis/wp_contents/uploads/DCR-ADMIN/phone.jpeg" alt="undefined" style="height: auto;width: auto"/> <p></p> <p>It’s easy to find expiration dates on food items, but that’s not usually the case when it comes to your phone. According to experts, using your phone beyond its end of life (EOL) date is risky because it won’t be able to update to address the latest bugs and security issues. An unsecured phone leaves you with little protection from hackers who can access health data and bank accounts or even steal your voice.</p> <p>You should be aware that a smartphone’s average life span is less than three years, although Apple and Samsung phones can last up to eight years. A phone’s expiration date starts from when it was made, not from when you bought it. The easiest way to check your phone’s EOL date is to search for your make and model at <a href="https://endoflife.date/" target="_self">endoflife.date</a>. You can also search by manufacturer and find out if the company still supports your phone with current security updates. </p> <p><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/" target="_self">Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies.</a></p> <p><strong>Related Articles</strong><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/Guide/Savvy-Consumer/" target="_self">Your Guide to Being a Savvy Consumer</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top Rated Local Companies</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/" target="_self">Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a> </p>
