>It was uncovered this week by Reuters that Google has discontinued Project Ara, its effort to build a modular smartphone. Ara captured many tech watchers’ imaginations with slick prototypes and the possibility of upgrading individual phone components, or swapping out phone components for particular applications.
woah... so this is the power... of modular phones....
how long until tech illiterate normies who do not realize this is pretty much impossible to pull off jump on another modular phone bandwagon?

you are the type of individual that is right but cucked to the core.

You will have shit perf due to all the I/O going on, each module needs a bus interface etc, adds latency.
Couple that with the fact that pins waste electricity compared to solder and you have shit battery life.
Plus, your screen will have breaks in it (but only after they figure out how to have a full screen kek), which would require some kind of removable cover that goes over the entire surface, and even then the breaks are still cosmetic.
It will be used for babies, maybe.

The same I/O happens without modules. They could use the USB standard.

The resistance added by having pins instead of solder is minimal. Most CPU's aren't wven soldered down.

The screen isn't a module, and if it is, it's still on the otther side of the phone.

Not an argument.

No you fucking dipstick, if they used USB there would be a host controller handling SYN and ACK requests and shit, and 3.1 has DMA so they would use a fucking proprietary interface, and implement protection from DMA.

Gee thanks for letting me know.

So basically the screen just plugs into some shit, I get it, have fun with your 2" thick modular lego phone
