Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive archive estimates how long phones, laptops, tablets, watches, earbuds, consoles, and smart-home devices have left.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

The estimator combines a selected model, usage intensity, and battery-health band to produce a lifespan verdict, rather than treating software support as the only endpoint. Its example for the Google Pixel 9 separates an August 2030 hardware runway from an August 2031 security horizon. Battery guidance includes device-specific paths for iPhone, Pixel, and Samsung, while the catalogue assigns remaining-support labels to individual models.
