Most iPhone users think the portable storage slot is only for extending the
internal memory - but it's also portable storage - which they can't do.
(Apple wants them to pay for the iCloud so they can save pictures & video.)

    I know you like to tout the SD card 'slot' on Android phones, but IMO
using them for *portable* storage, while possible, is not very
convenient.
    Much too much fiddling to get the MicroSD card out of a miniscule
'slot' or 'tray' (your Samsung Galaxy A53 probably has a 'tray' (my A51
has)) and insert it in the miniscule 'slot' or 'tray' of the destination
device.
    For portable storage, it's much easier to plug a (compatible)
memory-stick into the USB or Lightning port. There are many such
memory-sticks, most with dual plugs of different types (USB-A, USB-C,
Micro-USB, Lightning). Yes, more expensive than a MicroSD card, but
much, much more convenient.
    But I understand *why* you are touting the SD card slot on Android
phones, because only Android phones have them, while the memory-stick
approach also works on iDevices, so that ruins your troll! :-)
