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

I'm all about facts.

aren't facts, but opinions, assumptions, etc.. But let's not go there
again.

Frank,

I'm an extremely well educated scientist & engineer so it's important that
I tell you all my stated facts are aimed at being 100% correct.

The fact is, you're wrong - and the proof of that is you can't back it up.
You won't find even a single time where my stated facts were wrong.(1)

In decades of posting on Usenet, Frank...
My stated facts have never been wrong (1, see sig).

You need to separate facts from opinions.
 This is a fact: No Apple mobile devices have an sd card slot.
 This is an opinion: Apple sucks.

The Apple trolls would disagree that no iPhone has an sd slot.
But the Apple trolls are MAGA fools (Make Apple Great Again).

Only fools disagree with facts; that's why they're fools.
But adults disagree with assessments of facts all the time.

The reason adults disagree with assessments of facts are that they put
different weights on those facts. For example, I put a *lot* of weight on
the lack of an sd card in an iPhone, but people like Arno would not.

If you can find even a single fact I've stated that's wrong,
I will publicly apologize to you and everyone but you can't.

If you could, you would.
But you can't.

The reason is what you disagree with are my assessments.
And that's fine.

But never say a fact I state is wrong, Frank.
Without backing it up with a cite because it doesn't happen(1).

Note (1) that I can make temporary errors (e.g., misplaced decimal points,
or typos or thinkos in a casual conversation, e.g., substituting "portable
memory" for "portable storage" or in detail clarification such as saying
"mobile phones" instead of "mobile devices", but that's because this is an
ad hoc colloquial medium where we don't have editors checking our work.

If an actual fact I stated is wrong, in my entire history on Usenet, I've
always apologized and publicly corrected it as my statements must be
trusted to be 100% correct on the facts.

Please note that some facts change over time, such as whether or not iOS is
monolithic (where they added RSRs in iOS 16); which is different
altogether.
