That's a step in the right direction, hopefully in the future phones will be more like computers, where you can buy parts and build your own. At least that'd be my dream.

Well not all computers can be upgraded unfortunately. Looking at you MacBooks with SSDs welded to the motherboard…

Well, that's not a PC, it's a Mac :P

There aren't lots of compact devices that are upgradable, even on windows. Most use soldered ram and flash storage.
