10 years of Project Ara: The modular smartphone that never was (and why I still care today)

7 评论

Not one mention of fairphone? Not fully modular but it definitely ticks all the boxes for repairability and sustainability
- Just depends on Google instead of degoogling like GrapheneOS
  
  You can run CalyxOS on it. Or iodéOS or e OS.
Ara was pretty cool. I really like the idea, but I was never clear on what the mods would contain.
A couple are obvious: biggest batteries and fancier cameras, but what then? I can see enthusiast stuff like an IR camera, and maybe some nonstandard radios. But is that enough to appeal to most consumers?
- I'd imagine it being a hit during the early 2000s.
  Nowadays in the 2020s though? Hardly. :/
