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

Your Name,

Depending on the design of the "truck" and "tow hitch" (i.e. does the "tow
hitch" stick out beyond the rear of the truck):
>
  - one without a "tow hitch" can back up closer to a wall / car
    behind it than one with a "tow hitch".
>
  - one without a "tow hitch" can't hurt people walking behind
    it, while one with a "tow hitch" can cause people to bang
    their shins on it.

The OP has already proven himself to be blind and deaf for any counter
argument.

Almost any comparison (as well as survey, poll, and study) can be skewed
to "prove" whatever someone wants it to "prove". In the end such
comparisons are rather pointless.  :-)

The OP hasn't figured out how to do that yet, his methods are still rather
crude.

In terms of the mobile phone and audio jack, most people simply either
never used it or were tired of trying to untangle the wires on the
earphones, so it was removed form devices (first by Apple and then
copy-catted by most other makers).

I'm not sure if the above is what actually happened cause-and-effect wise,
but its possible.

There were of course other reasons to remove the audio jack. One being the
silliness to continually make mobile phones (and tablets)
ever thinner, not that anyone every really complained about modern
cellphones being too thick.

Similar considerations have been posted a few times now (including by me),
but the OP refuses to respond to/discuss any of it.  He just *knows* its
because "they" (all of the phone makers) are out to gouge him, and nobody
can tell him otherwise.
