Smartphone and tablet manufacturers have come under scrutiny for misleading or inconsistent information on product specifications and energy labels. A review of more than 2,400 product sheets found exaggerated or confusing claims, such as "48 years of updates," "23 minutes of battery life," and descriptions of screens as "as durable as sapphire or as fragile as talc." These inaccuracies have raised concerns about transparency and consumer trust. Since June 20, 2025, new European regulations—UE 2023/1669 (Energy Labelling) and UE 2023/1670 (Ecodesign)—have been enforced across the European Union. These rules require products to include detailed energy labels with information like an efficiency rating from A to G, battery life estimates, shock resistance, reparability, charge cycle numbers, and an IP index, which measures a device's resistance to dust and water. The labels must also feature a QR code linking to detailed product information on the EPREL (European Product Registry for Energy Labelling) website. The Ecodesign regulation sets specific requirements for manufacturers, including a minimum of five years of security updates (with a four-month window after the source code is released for customers to access them) and seven years of spare part availability. However, reports show that 80% of devices do not meet the required standards for repair information. Advocacy groups like Right to Repair and iFixit analyzed 2,334 product sheets and found that only about 18% provided easy access to websites with spare part pricing or repair guides. Some manufacturers do not offer links to purchase spare parts or access repair manuals, yet still claim a top score for reparability, automatically assigning themselves a class A rating. According to Annex IV of the regulation, a 5-point score is given only if repair and maintenance information is publicly available. Some product sheets direct users to the Chinese platform Temu, with 40 product sheets (from a small number of brands) linking to this site. Others redirect to the homepage or to product pages where items are out of stock. Major online marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress also appear on many product sheets. However, some product sheets are more useful than others. For example, Autel, a brand that sells tablets, redirects users to its complete product sheet via the links meant to provide pre-tax prices for components, offering more transparency than many others.
