i wish there was more innovation in the cell phone market, instead apple essentially has a monopoly over the aesthetics and features of new phones because everyone just ends up copying them anyway. i wish we had options for phones that could be easily fully disassembled without things like RAM and storage being soldered to the motherboard. even if it ends up looking kind of ugly aesthetically, i'd still consider buying it.

Apple does it not to phones only now, everything is a SoC 😅
TBH in the 90-ies, I've been wondering, why they makes these things so modular, why don't they put everything on a big chip, eliminating the need for standardized busses and all that…

Thirty years have passed and we nearly have it, but I'm not happy because now it doesn't make any sense — I don't want things more miniature than they are, performance benefits don't make any sense either — the more performance we have, the more of it is wasted. Computer that could be easily used for things like video editing or 3D-rendering a couple of decades ago isn't good enough even for checking emails nowadays — that is insane 😱
