Got it. These are some of the limitations of smartphones

You have to understand that in order to make an iPhone or any such device as small as it is, you have to integrate components directly onto the board. In fact in many cases you will find multiple components on one chip. I believe the opposite will be true and devices will become less user serviceable. You simply cannot have small devices that are serviceable by users or most technicians. And you also have to understand that companies such as APple, Nokia, and so on make money on the hardware more so than the software.

Given how slim and tiny these devices are, presently there may not be any upgrade components available, May be in future we might expect such things.

Apple can of course do some basic repairs like fix a broken touch screen or replace a battery, but you can't make an iPhone 4 into a 4S or an iPad 2 WiFi into a new iPad 4G. The same goes for Airport Wireless devices or the Apple TV. You can't really compare these kind of mobile devices with computers and it's not as if Apple does anything out of the ordinary here, I have never heard of an upgradable smart phone except maybe for those that have a Micro SD Card slot where you could of course replace a smaller Micro SD card with a larger one.

Can we upgrade them with more advanced rams? Or we are always at the mercy of Apple's business whenever a new version of the hardware is made available in the market. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
