You just described an iPhone knockoff. Apple will never add SD cards, that's only for geeks like me and you.

- majewsky 10y agoA lot of people like SD cards because you can just pull them out of the phone, stick them into a PC or Smart TV or whatever, and see your vacation photos on a big screen. And without the hassle of going through some cloud provider. (As another anecdote, I once tried to get a photo from an iPhone onto a Linux PC without having to sign up for some cloud account first. After about an hour of fiddling, I ended up e-mailing the image to myself.)
- aioprisan 10y agoI agree with you, I like SD cards myself, but not something my parents will mess around with - it's much easier to put those pictures and videos (and shared ones from thousands of miles away) on their cloud provider's storage mechanism and have a seamless experience. And Linux boxes aren't what 99% of consumers use. What you and I tinker with is different than what the vast majority of consumers will experience. You can just plug in an iPhone on a PC and Windows Photos will just import your pictures without a second thought.
