What happens in 18 months when they want me to upgrade to a new smartphone? Yes, I've heard they've made some promises about forward compatibility, but how long will that last?

Shoot! With the rate of technological change, how long CAN something like that last?

I would feel much more confident in the modular concept if there was an industry standards group, or an m43s like consortium that controlled this sort of thing. I'm pretty sure my next phone will not get any modules purchased for it.

I am not so concerned about forward compatibility.  I did buy the camera module for about $250.  I bought an Olympus XZ-2 for a little more than that a couple of years ago.  I rarely use it and will no longer need it.  There is no option to upgrade it.  Even if and when new phones are made without the module capacity, this one will still work.  Phones can be maintained if and when they are upgraded.  So, worrying about the future, like two years from now, is not really a concern of mine.  Que sera!  I am enjoying the present.
