  …ardware. In smartphones, what's important to you is not cameras or g-meters, but the apps you download. Another example is the modern concepts in car manufacturing, Tesla, for instance. You had your plain car and then it becomes partially autonomous — just because you've paid for new software. You didn't have to replace the sensors or go to the service for that. C…
