Could a company hypothetically create an extremely solid phone with interchangeable parts when upgrades become available, and it's not done just because they profit more with the current model? Or is this just not feasible?
- brbrodude 10y agoI'd guess probably so but the issue is that this company would not be able to compete and would die since the other model lets the other companies be more aggressive in R&D, marketing, releasing new products frequently, etc, etc.
- Sharlin 10y agoYes, but it would be huge and expensive and nobody would want to buy it. Plus modularity and BW compatibility requirements would severely limit the design space available for further evolution (both look and feel and internal hardware aspects). Highly integrated hardware and systems-on-a-chip do have several advantages but are pretty much the antithesis of modularity.
