Which makes me wonder: why don’t we find higher capacity SSDs? Is it purely a matter of price, with consumers not willing to pay for more capacity than a few TB

- schwartzworld 3y agoThat doesn't make sense. They stopped offering expandable auxillary storage because it sometimes fails? Nobody forced you to put a card in your phone, but there were a lot of benefits. I'd be willing to bet there's research that shows that phones without expandable storage get replaced more often. I've definitely heard people say a variation on "my phone is full, I need a new one"
