Phones are not plug and play, but this project lays the groundwork for them to be. It's not as if anyone truly imagines every part needs to be modular, more that this allows parts to be modular which allows some degree of upgradability in the future or to have base devices more cheaply repurposed for specific usage scenarios.

>> It's not as if anyone truly imagines every part needs to be modular, Are you saying that Project Ara will still allow the consolidation of separate functions into integrated SoCs, when it makes sense to do so? Or are you saying that the consumer won't be obligated to piece their phone together? Nor swap out modules any more frequently then they currently upgrade phones? Either way, you are right.
