Re: What's the actual *advantage* of not having an sd slot?

Your Name,

If Apple supposedly has no innovation, what does that imply for all the
lazy copy-cat Android makers??

:-) You've already decided that they are lazy.  What could I bring forward
to give you a different perspective ?


I've got a Pixel here which, looking at the outside, "copy-catted" Apple.
There is only an USB-C connector available and three buttons.

Though I regard the disappearance of wired stuff and sd-card slots as a
natural progression.  The less stuff thats mechanically connected or can be
touched by users, the less stuff that can break the phone - and the less
entry-points for dirt and fluids.

I still remember the debacle where Apples phones where considered to be
"water damaged", when all that had happened was that they where carried by
people who where sweating (mostly workout related).

IOW, you loose something (clumsy wiring and don't-use-this-too-much sd-card
slots), but you win something too (longer life of the hardware).
