The idea is to make a lot of money making you believe that you have a Star Trek smart phone.
A computer without software is nothing and even to play music you need speakers with accoustic enclosures.
Software requires storage and every day software is becoming bigger and bigger. Also you need storage for your data that also becomes bigger and more bigger.
The storage requirements increase much faster than the CPU power. Some years ago a computer with 1.6 GHz clock and 40GB disk was a good computer, today we have 3 GHz clock CPU and 1 TB disks. The clock increased only two times and with some core optimizations let me say that the CPU is four times faster, but the storage had increased 25 times.
Mass storage requires physical space, it are mechanical devices and 1 TB disk is no way to fit into a cell phone. The day that will be able with nano mechanics to make 1 TB fit in so small space the current mechanical devices will have 1000 TB that also will not fit into the cell phone.
Solid state storage capabilities, that requires very little physical space, is increasing every day, but mechanical storage also does, so the ratio remains more or less 1000 times.

The solution to solve these problems and maximize the profit is that if a computer requires software and space for storage and there is no way to fit the storage requirements into a cell phone the solution is simple: Your computer will not have software nor mass storage.
The age of purchasing software is gone and no more software available for sale.
If you need to do something that requires software, for example resize an image, you call by internet a service provider that has photoshop in their servers and you are charged automatically in your credit card for the service. As your cell phone has no storage the resized image is stored into another server and you pay too for this service.
You want to hear a song?, you link to another service provider that transfer in real time the mp3 music and is debited into your credit card, want to hear again the same music? pay again and you will hear it.
If you have no credit card you don't generate profits for the banks, so you are not a citizen and you have no rights to have a computer, go to some charity institution maybe can help you.
As the servers that have photoshop must serve hundreds of millions users are in a bottle neck, you will receive the next week an email notification that your image has been resized successfully and has cost $xx.xx.

Stupidity also evolves!
