Phonebloks is a company that are “trying to change the way electronics are made in order to create less waste”. They believe that phones should be modular and that people are able to add and remove different things to their phone based on customisation. It can be seen here;
While this is a brilliant idea that not only saves the planet and puts the power back in the users hand, it is unlikely of Apple to put this in the phones that the consumers will buy. The reason for this is that they like to maintain complete control over their devices.
On the other hand Google has funded Project Ara which is a modular built phone due to become available to consumers in 2016.
