The only reason for removing the sd slot is to force the consumer to
scramble to buy some of the functionality back (which costs them money).
 
Well - not in my case. I *never* had to buy *anything* because of not
having an SD card slot in my phone. No, I don't use Google cloud
services, I don't need that.

Hi Arno (this is a kinder, gentler, nice me, but still me)

I respectfully disagree with your characterization that you "never had to
buy anything" since you already bought something, which is a much bigger
phone than one that contains the perfectly acceptable 64GB internal
storage. And... get this.... you paid dearly... long before you needed it.

I understand completely that you said the Pixel doesn't even come with 64GB
of storage, which is easily understood by the logic that even Google knows
you'd kill them for not having the sd slot if a Pixel had the normal 64GB.

The sad fact is a phone without the sd slot requires more internal storage.
A *lot* more.

Oh, and I might not have mentioned this yet, but my original 64GB of
additional storage on my phone cost somewhere around twenty bucks.

Yesterday.

Better yet, while you paid an arm and a leg in yesterday's prices for your
internal storage, I was able to supplement that old phone with 512GB sd.

At today's prices.

There is brilliance in what I'm trying to impart to you, Arno, if you're
willing to comprehend what that ingenious strategy is in terms of storage.

If you buy a Pixel or iPhone, you have to plan for years of storage needs.
Which you pay for dearly, in internal storage, at YESTERDAY's high prices.

But...

If you buy a better phone with basic hardware, you do not have to plan for
years of storage needs. You just plan for the current storage needs.

And you double, triple or quadruple that storage for maps & media over
time, as needed, at today's (much much much much much) cheaper prices.

This ingenious yet obvious idea, is what Google/Apple/Samsung(high end)
OEMs hate because it means you don't have to plan ahead at yesterday's
costs and which means they lose a lot of money in many ways.

I wonder if I've mentioned yet that Google/Apple/Samsung(high end)
marketing is brilliant in how they dupe the unsuspecting customer out of
their money needlessly, and, in this case, years before the customer
actually needed to spend *any* money.

This is, after all, part of the brilliance of having basic
industry-standard hardware functionality that marketing hates you having.

If anything I said is confusing, please ask me to clarify the points.
