See what cell phone manufacturers are doing: segmenting the market by launching dozens of different models at the same time (half of them barely usable, but that&#x27;s a topic for another time), each with a different set of &quot;features&quot; - little less RAM, little more storage, sensor A and B included, sensor B and C included (note that a model with sensors A, B <i>and</i> C is usually missing).<p>A sane situation would be when they&#x27;d be launching a single phone packed with features - powerful CPU, lots of RAM, lots of storage. Or maybe two, second being the &quot;economy version&quot; or basically the previous year&#x27;s top model. But launching dozens of models a time means a lot of unused cellphones floating around, a lot of incompatibile parts being produced, and a lot of people learning for the first time that you don&#x27;t go cheap on a smartphone because companies are very happy to sell you crap that barely works at all.
