Who needs a micro SD when you can pay a subscription cloud service for the rest of your life??? - morons responding to me every time I lament the need for an SD card
Not to mention if your screen gets fucked you can remove the card and have all your photos / movies instantly
Why not both! I love SD but its also pretty handy I can access photos from my PC without needing any further action (I refer mostly to OneDrive right now)
SD still rules tho.
Up-selling is the game. Especially if you have something to repair, they will happily quote you close to half of the price of new device so you go “ah, then I might as well buy a new one”.
They used to have microSD…

This drives me crazy. An iPhone 15 pro max with 256gb of storage is 1199 and the 512gb is 1399.
So $200 for an extra 256gb. Meanwhile a fast, name brand, 1tb micro SD card is about $100.
That’s the Apple business model.
That Android phones haven’t hesitated to adopt… Sadly.
Not all of them, but yes, sadly it has become a trend.
Well at least on android you have a choice (iirc Fariphone 5 has an SD-card slot)
True, and hopefully most brands adopt this way.
Run out of storage? We have a subscription for that!

They still do. My 2021 model phone has dual SIM, with one of the slots being enabled for either a SIM card or a SD card.
Many if not most new models don’t have them though
Phones that use those are still relatively easy to find tho.
