    It was such a cool concept. I really don’t care about how thin my phone is. I’d much rather be able to replace a broken screen easily. I’d love to be able to upgrade my camera or take the camera out and put a little more battery in it. I really hope they revisit the concept someday.

      It would be the solution to phone obsolescence. This concept, paired with project treble would allow us to run our phones for as long as possible. Want a screen with more pixels? Just install one. Phone getting behind on specs?Change the cpu or add ram. Want a better camera? Just get a new one. At some point, the chassis would need to be replaced, but even then, you could reuse some of your installed conponents. It would be so awesome.
