Im pretty sure thats a falsity. Making tech repair friendly doesnt really add to the form factor of a device if you know how to design correctly, even with phones.
I remember that phone[0] that google killed and that was back in 2013? Since then other projects have sprung up to tackle this. There are links at the bottom of the page.

- glenstein 2y agoI wondered if that Google modular phone ended up inspiring the Moto Z during the time Google owned Motorola. To your point, I suspect the same, I'm trying to think of adverse consequences. The closest I can think of is something akin to the battery example, but in a different way. Maybe you're more comfortable putting high performing dangerous-to-handle components in a phone if you can seal it shut. Maybe component-by-component tech support accountability to a tech repair community is a new set of burdens they don't want to have. I suppose the latter feels plausible, but the possible impact on components seems less convincing.
