Should you still buy your next smartphone — or subscribe to it instead? Apple, Samsung … are betting that leasing, subscriptions, and guaranteed buyback programs can make upgrading more attractive.

I bet we’re 1 generation away from cheap “clones” with (pure) Linux on them.

What do people need? A A57 octo core, 8GB RAM, 256/512GB storage, and a 100€ screen…

Throw in the usual stuff (sim, gps/galileo, wifi, bt) plus maybe a card reader, swappable batteries, audio jack for us nerds out there and the craze can be done with.

300€ from china (made in eu/us for 1100€ coming next decade)…

Good or bad, I see it coming! (Just after the linux desktop 😁?)
