I think the current and growing interests in privacy and security as we delve deeper into the modern age would lend well to a project like Google's project Ara. Having a phone that you could remove the networking hardware and be truly airgapped would be excellent. Maybe a removable camera/microphone array to go silent when desired? Remove the processor and memory to power off. --
@design_RG some of the thoughts that lead me to jot down the post. I have hope that privacy will become a feature in a certain niche of the market. Removable batteries, hardware switches for radios. I think it's happening (albeit not smoothly) with the new Librem 5 from purism. I also have hope that developments continue with RISC-V to have the chance to shut down some of those backdoors that manufacturers and state actors can/may manipulate.
