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

Marion,

The difference matters.

And you *still* haven't mentioned which usage you are ranting
about.

A phone without the sd card is always an inferior phone to one
with it (all else being equal) because sd cards do things which
are impossible to do any other way (even with the cloud).

And as so often you refuse to even *hint* at what that "do things" in the
above is about, making it another worthless claim.

Also, I'm quite certain that your refusal to provide examples of what you
are hinting at is on purpose, so nobody can tell you wrong.  Its a cheap
trick.

Why do you think Apple/Google promote phones w/o the sd card
slot? They're not stupid.

You have gotten *several* replies explaining why that that could be.  I'm
not going to take another ride in that merry-go-round of yours.

They *know* a phone without sd will always cost more than one
with it.

:-) "*They* know" ?   What are you, a mind-reader ?

But you could even be true.  Smarthones have become more expensive every
year - with or without sd-card holders.

Heck, I could tell you that after I changed a light bulb in my cars
dashboard it has been driveing much further on a ful tank than before I did
that.  Isn't it *amazing* what a single light bulb can do ?  [conspiracy
theory]It must be a secret no car manufacturer wants you to know
about.[/conspiracy theory]

I also changed the cars gas tank to a bigger one, but that has nothing to do
with it, right ?  Right!?

Kiddo, as most anyone (here) can tell you, correlation isn't the same as
causation.

Given a phone without sd is always vastly inferior in capability
to one with it (all else being equal),

True, but a downright lie at the same time.   Kiddo, I've told and shown you
several times that I notice tricks like that.  But for some reason you keep
trying them.

here is what I love about portable storage. [snip]

One word : thumbdrive.

Another word : data cable.

So, there are at least two methods besides an sd-card to transfer data from
one phone to the other.  IOW, No pressing need for a(n external or internal)
SD slot (you're still flip-flopping between the two.  Yes, I noticed)

And by the way, if you can (effectivily) move an internal, memory-extending
sd-card from the old phone to the new one than you *really* have a crappy
new phone - as that data is supposed to be encrypted (locked to the phone).
For obvious(?) reasons.

Try *that* with a crappy substandard phone that doesn't have an
sd slot! It's impossible.

In your head it certainly seems to be.  In the heads of us out here in the
real wordld ?   No so much.

A phone without the sd card is always an inferior phone to one with
it (all else being equal) because sd cards do things which are
impossible to do any other way (even with the cloud).

You started with that sentence/claim, and you ended with it.   You know what
that makes you look like ?  Take a guess.
