I wouldn't call it vaporware, Project Ara phones simply won't be top of the line, but that doesn't mean it can't happen; perhaps the compromises in performance and quality will be worth it for what modular phones enable.

If it ships at all it isn't vaporware. But my argument was that it would never ship, which is why I used the term.

Look into how far they are already, and the relationships they have already formed with manufacturers.

It's pretty much a sure bet that this is going to ship.

Now, whether there is enough interest to keep it alive is another thing altogether.
