Honestly, if we could upgrade the RAM in phones, I'd probably be fine with this one for a decade. (Or until they start making phones with qwerty keypads again.)

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde "oem" parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Congrats! And holy shit, having a way of upgrading RAM in a phone is something that never crossed my mind! This would extend life of phones by so much.
There's no reason why at least the motherboard couldn't be a replaceable module if one is happy with cameras and display, or the other way around. Not saying it has to be super simple like plugging in a Lego module, but it's definitely doable. Most peripherals are borderline off the shelf anyway and their functionality and support is mostly in software.
We need a company for phones that's like framework for laptops.
A fewhavextried but sadly failed. If they just made the phones less difficult to modify people could still at least have local technicians change components
