Next: replaceable storage? Since flash-based storage is widely known as a consumable that tends to fail first.

You mean the kind of "first" that comes right after shattered screens, worn batteries, and loose charging ports? :P

I agree in spirit though: storage chips wearing out seems to be common from my limited experience and it would be good if you could solder on, or slide in, a new chip with some standard procedure

    Screen, battery and charging port replacements are already routine at any repair shop, at least for the devices I buy.

      Sure, but you said storage chips wearing out is the first thing that fails in a device

      And battery replacements usually leave devices in a degraded state, not sure about screen or charging port, so it's still good that this becomes more accessible
