It would be too hard to profit on this. Yearly releases of 700 USD phones is much better.
What were they thinking?
>From a financial standpoint
From a financial standpoint, it makes no sense to keep buying overpriced blocks to upgrade standards when you can just buy a relatively cheap phone every few years and again you are breaking it down into specific stuff like GPS which is just physically impossible. Just look at the concept pic in the OP, there are only 8 slots so the components have to be as generic as in a PC.
It failed because normies don't care about modular hardware, they just want to buy a new shiny selfie machine every year.
I fucking hate normies they ruin everything.
lol u mad
(hot girls) Do you want to take some "Selfies" with us??
(me, facepalming) Absolutely NOT!!
One-piece phones are already extremely fragile and you are adding a fuckload of additional failure points with this plus all that wasted space and duplicated structure for each block, this makes zero sense from an engineering standpoint.
>fully modular
except some components couldn't really be removed that easily and so you were limited with only actually removing/upgrading certain components like the camera
but of course we have retards like yourself who bought into the marketing hype, yet here you are shitting on other hypesters... ironic no?
fucking normie
ideas like this are mostly PR puffery designed to extract money from investors
it doesn't need to make sense, make money, provide a service, or even DO anything at all, just perpetuate the grift and I hope that silicon valley either burns to the ground or is wholly swallowed by an earthquake
Begin make prototipe
