I can live without the headphone jack, no micro SD card is the bigger sin, limiting you to your phones built in storage for no reason other than pure greed is infuriating
This was solely, and I mean completely solely, done out of greed to make more money by massive up charges to the phone model with more storage, and to push users into using their cloud based storage systems that would lock you into their ecosystem and and make a subscription based profit.
I haven't needed the extra storage of the micro SD since what feels like forever. My current phone has 128GB, I'm only using half of it and I have hardly deleted anything from it in something like 2 years.
Doesn’t matter if you don’t have a use for larger hot swappable storage, many others do, otherwise all these phone companies wouldn’t sell higher storage models for absurdly high markup
I also had what appeared be too much storage.
Then I got 2 cats.
Now it says 99% full.
Ok so you got a ton of photos of your cats but you're not sharing any. I see how it is.
No cat taxation without cat representation.
I have broken 4 micro SDs in the last 2 years. Thsnkfully, "broken" means set to read-only mods, so i could recover it. But yeah. I use it a lot.
This shows just shitty SD cards are for storage that's used a lot. Even the expensive ones for high intensity use burn out really fast.
I only recently learned that when they die they (usually) go read-only and you can very easily
ddto a new SD and carry-on.Would have saved me a lot of headaches over the years.
And that's why I stopped giving a shit about SD card slots. I've never had a micro SD that didn't break within a few years at most. It's annoying and since you have to keep buying new cards it's not even cheaper than just buying a phone with "enough" storage. I'd rather spend the money up front on a phone with a higher storage tier and have it actually work worry-free for the entire five plus years I'm using it.
Some people actually take pictures and videos. Or if you're a phone gamer, some games will take up over 20 gigs themselves. .... But good for you?
I've been self-hosting my own storage backup with Immich, and it's been a game changer for me. It's been an improvement over swapping out microsd cards and keeping track of what is stored where.
I mean, yes but also Android has no idea how to properly use MicroSD cards and that is fucking annoying.
lol what are you talking about considering Android is the only mobile OS that even lets you access the file system unlike apple
