Not really a feature. But I really I wish I could upgrade my phone. Like, get a new camera with better quality or a new battery with higher energy density in an older phone. Stuff like this.
fairphone allows this. it has its own issues though
Sure but I want to rather see it in old phones were the price tage is right. But a Samsung Galaxy S4 vor 25 bucks on ebay. Headphone jack, replaceable Battery and SD Card slot. I would like to have a better camera in it. Shouldnt be that complicated.
unfortunately it is complicated... the reason modular is more expensive is because manufacturing and logistics become much more difficult and they lose the opportunity to sell new phones every year claiming new features. it's a double loss for them.
our consumerist culture makes it difficult for people to realise this, but most of the time we are not paying the real cost of products (the modular question, also sustainability, ethical questions). we tend to complain about the expensive one, when the cheap one might be the one to blame because it's simply shifting the cost away from the companies and costumers.
if the market ever moves towards modular phones, hopefully a few years later you could be able to do that you're suggesting
Ok, thanks for your answer. ^^
