iPhones only have internal storage. Firefox phones come with an expansion slot; you can get a micro SD card to add 16GB for $11 on amazon.

- melling 13y agoWho cares? Geeks need to stop thinking like geeks. I know it's not easy but knowing what's important to the average consumer is critical.
- smtddr 13y agomelling, being able to accept a microSD card is a big deal even to people who are non-techie. My wife takes many, many pics and having a 32gig microSD card is very good if you like take pics, record vids, have music and have a bunch of kids Tv shows to calm a child. I don't even take many pics, and my Samsung Galaxy player with 5 gigs internal and 32 gigs sdcard is almost filled.
- PommeDeTerre 13y agoWhile useful, of course, I don't think it's as big of a deal as you suggest it is. If it were, the iPhone wouldn't be as popular as it is, for instance.
- smtddr 13y agoJust because the iPhone is popular without microSD expansion doesn't mean the feature isn't a big deal. It's still important enough to be a deal breaker for some people. It's definitely not a feature only geeks care about as the OP seems to think.
- tehwalrus 13y agoThis isn't thinking like a geek, I'm sorry. comparing the internal storage on an Android/Firefox OS phone to an iPhone is comparing apples with oranges[1]; consumers know about SD cards and have done for years. [1] no pun intended, although given my Keon's case colour, it is quite a good one :)
- ChrisLTD 13y agoGeeks aren't the only people using SD cards in cameras, USB drives with computers, and Blu-ray discs in their home theater setup. External data storage isn't a tough concept for people. (With that said, it'd be better if we didn't have to worry about it.)
