These are just examples, I have no opinion on what is the best.
Something like: I like the cameras from the Galaxy s23, the processor from the latest Pixel, the memory from the Razor. I mean whatever. I suppose Iphones could be included, but I figure it’s more locked in than androids, I could be wrong.
Or even replacing a part from one phone with one that’s better, for personal use? Like, even just putting pixel 7 cameras into a pixel 8 phone.
Besides the factory warrenty, and money spent, is it software? Is it having to reconfigure the hardware? Is it just space in general?
If we all have things we don’t like about our phones, why aren’t we able to just make it more to our liking?
Capitalism, kind of. Practicality, the rest of the way. Mobile parts need to be designed really tightly integrated, because they need to fit exactly into such small spaces, and standardizing them isn’t really feasible without significant pressure on the market (aka, socialism).
The reason desktop PCs can be so standardized is how big they are. Tons of room for customized parts.
