The smartphone manufacturing industry is super competitive. Many of the largest phone manufacturers didn't exist a decade ago. I guess you got a billion dollar startup idea in your hands, go ahead and create that phone company. Personally, my hunch is that you're not the first to have this idea and a phone like the one you described is either not commercially viable and/or there isn't real demand for a phone that lasts 20 years.
- lob_it 4y agoAre you sure smartphones are even relevant anymore? They seemed to have devolved into doing everything mediocre and are much like a dildo/toothbrush hybrid without clear instructions. Dialtone 2.0 sounds like a winner already. The seperation of data and dialtone. And with influencer marketing, its like celebs decades ago harping about the health benefits of eating a placenta... Are you eating placentas to maintain health? All those vitamins and minerals... Yummy :/ https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/labor-and-delivery/expert-answers/eating-the-placenta/faq-20380880 https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/labor-and-deliv... Just because they invented it/said it, doesn't make it a good idea/product. Product evolution is already well documented. The 1767 invention of carbonated water/soda water did not make large strides until 1886 and did not get HFCS until 1981-1984. https://www.thoughtco.com/18th-century-timeline-1992474 https://www.thoughtco.com/18th-century-timeline-1992474 https://thepopularlist.com/inventions-of-the-19th-century/ https://thepopularlist.com/inventions-of-the-19th-century/ https://www.motherjones.com/food/2019/07/the-secret-history-of-why-soda-companies-switched-from-sugar-to-high-fructose-corn-syrup/ https://www.motherjones.com/food/2019/07/the-secret-history-...
