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

Andy,

So, my tentative conclusion is 64GB is a perfectly fine amount, even
today.
As long as you have portable storage capability.

I wouldn't dream of purchasing a crappy Pixel or iPhone with that little.
Because you can't increase the portable storage with crappy phones.

They haven't sold any Pixels with that little since 2018

Did you notice that he discards his own conclusion (64GB + external storage
is enough) ?

And than concludes, again with zero substanciation, that "you can't increase
the portable storage" of "a crappy Pixel" ?

Its a circular redenation.  If it *can* use its "portable storage
capability" than its not a crappy phone.   If it /can't/ than he can - and
will - claim he was right all along - regardless of the basic storage
capacity.

Its an adaptation of the "Not a real Scotsman" fallacy (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman ).   IOW, discard everything
that does not match a preconception, and what you will be left with is,
regardless how small a sample (read: not representative at all), stuff that
confirms it.

Also, he hasn't even mentioned which ammount of internal storage would make
him happy, so there is no discussion possible (towards a phone with more
internal storage) in that direction either.

In short, he's rather manipulative.
