It's clearly not a simplification of the manufacturing line, but I'd consider it a simplification of the final object.

- jacquesm 6y agoFrom a personnel point of view it is a simplification. A robotic line that produces 10x the number of devices with 1/100th the number of personnel may well be worth the capital investment and once it runs it's a black box. Vs the complexities that you get with traditional manufacturing where a lot of the work is so complex that it can not yet be roboticized. If the final product is more geared towards automatic manufacturing that is in fact a form of simplification. I'm quite curious how these sound in practice compared to similar weight/size regular devices. Headphones and cellphones would be an obvious first application.
