I thought I pretty much destroyed the "less than 1%" argument multiple times. But some people, who apparently own little content, keep clinging to irrational and illogical arguments when the reason for no SD is clearly a money grab.
I mean, the best way to show that people don't want 4WD would be to stop making 4WD cars and trucks....and that's literally how ignorant this argument has become.
Except there is huge demand for 4WD in many areas, which is why they not only keep making them, but they even offer it in sedans that you wouldn't expect to see it.
I have a lot of content. Many TB worth of files, music, videos, tv shows, DVD rips, etc...
Do you think that the average person has 100 apps installed?
Do you think that the average user has 5,000 photos that they need to carry with them at all times?
Nope. Like I said, talk to someone who works in a VZW store and ask them what the average person walking in the door wants, needs and buys.
If what you said was true, then there would be no iPhone, it would have died off. If what you say is true, then you would not see other phones leaving SD behind.
Yes, they charge more for the devices for the higher storage options... Apple has done it that way for the better part of a decade.
Let me ask you this...
How much "content" do you have on your phone, and how much of it is there simply because you have the space?
It's a phone. It can be more, but there is a difference between having a lot of content because you actually have a need and a use for it, and just being a digital hoarder because "it's there"...
I copy my phone stuff off to my PC periodically. Why? Because whether I have an SD card slot or not, I don't need every picture I have taken since 2007 to be in my pocket at all times. Additionally, if I drop my phone in the toilet, or I lose it or it is stolen, it won't matter if I have my stuff on an SD card. In fact, at least if my Nexus 6 is stolen, they cannot easily get to my stuff because it is password protected. If all my personal stuff is on an SD card, anyone who grabs my phone can pop the card out and get to it with ease...
I think this is more of a case of people getting used to having something, where they may not even truly need it, but like knowing it is there, and having it "taken away"...
I was one of them. You act as if I don't know the story here... I have over 100GB of music, some 23,000 or so songs... The thought of having that entire library of music in my pocket sounds great. The reality though, is that I don't need 23,000 songs. Trying to find what I want, needing such storage requirements, when you really will never listen to 98% of those songs, doesn't make sense, So I put a few hundred of my favorite songs on there... And so on 7 or 8 phones over a several year period, I found that I had a 64GB MicroSD card with just a couple GB on it...
I guess that if you live with your nose buried in your phone, maybe you need every file you own with you at all times...
