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

Hi Chris,

I'm trying to be really nice even as I'm always logical and sensible.
What you seem to be doing is defending Apple's lies about being green.

But first, let's talk about the topic of this thread.
Portable storage.

1. Let's say you have four people on your family plan, as I do.

2. That's realistic, right? Two kids. Two parents. So that's four phones.

3. As you can see, 3 of them came with sd slots so I added more storage.

4. But one was a substandard cheap expensive iPhone 12 mini unfortunately.

Notice the Androids came with plenty of internal storage (64GB) which will
last for five years easily because sd storage can be expanded to anything.

Yet, the iPhone 12 mini had to come with an EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE 128GB!
Why?

Why did I pay ten times more for a crappy iPhone with cheap components?
The answer is that without the sd card, you can no expand the storage.

That's why.
Apple isn't stupid.

Who needs to charge 5 phones *simultaneously*?

Now to your question. Let's say those were all Apple iPhones, ok?
That's a fair assumption, right? An Apple family. Four iPhone 12 mini's.

And, as you well know, the iPhones all come with cheap crappy batteries.
So you're darn well assured you'll be charging all four every night.

Especially the kids, who, I might remind you, do not sleep together.
So you have three bedrooms to share a single charger amongst.

Huh?
That's absurd, right?

But that's what you're suggesting. But oh, it gets worse. Much worse.

So now I have my wife, who has her own schedule, and myself, and my two
kids who, God knows where they are at any given moment, day or night.

Are you seriously suggesting we all share the same charger every night?>

At 20W? Even if you didn't
have chargers you could manage easily with buying just two.

No Chris. No. The kids are not going to get up in the middle of the night
to borrow the one charger from tehir sibling, every single night Chris.

Your suggestion is so absurd that I have to question why you propose it.
But then, you're an Apple troll.

So you will defend Apple to the death no matter what.
Even to such ridiculously absurd levels as you just did there.

Your suggestion is preposterous.
Apple lied. It's that simple. Apple thinks we're stupid.

Again, ppl do
have existing chargers some will even charge two or more <gasp> devices at
once!

Chris,
The fact you said "existing chargers" (which parrots Apple's lies) belies
that we paid a lot of money for that cheaply made iPhone 12 mini.

To get the charging speeds we paid for, we'd need a 20 Watt PD charger.
Are you even aware of the facts about Apple chargers Chris?
I am.

Apple has *never* in its entire history of selling iPhones, ever put a 20
Watt PD charger in any iPhone box every sold in the entire world, Chris.

Think about that fact.

Apple has NEVER put the proper charger for that iPhone ever, in the box.
So if I were an Apple family, where are all these 20-Watt chargers, Chris?

Hint: Apple lied. And you proposed a preposterously absurd argument in
defense of Apple's lies. Why you shill for Apple is because you're a troll.
 

When travelling in the car we manage to have one charger for four ppl.
Even on long journeys.

Chris,

I don't know how to respond to something that absurd.
You're so desperate to defend Apple to the death, that you're absurd.

Four people traveling in one vehicle to Disney certainly can use one
charger because they're all traveling in one vehicle. Likewise, four people
sleeping in the same bedroom can too - which is what you suggest.

It's absurd what you're doing to defend Apple to the death, Chris.
It's why you're an Apple troll religious zealot - devoid of logic.

An entire family does not sleep in the same bedroom where I live Chris.
Despite your claims that they do, nobody does that but you, Chris.
It's absurd.

While an entire family can travel in one vehicle, Chris, when they get to
Disney (or wherever), they will split off and still need to charge the
phone, and, besides, what happens when they travel in four vehicles?

I wonder if you Apple trolls realize all your defenses of Apple are absurd?

BTW, do you know why your defense of Apple marketing is absurd?
I do.

HINT: Apple lied. So you're defending Apple's lies. With absurdities.
