>> even though it can't by definition ever be state of the art
Is 'state of the art' a synonym for 'slim' ?
When I think 'state of the art' I think "most advanced hardware".
In theory, if Ara is successful, it will be much easier, more cost effective, and less ecologically harmful to keep your Ara phone constantly at the bleeding edge of 'state of the art' than it would be to constantly upgrade to the latest phones.
Consider also that no single phone on the market combines all the best hardware in one place, one could argue that ONLY with Ara could you have a fully state of the art phone.
