    I was just explaining why high end phones ditch SD cards. Specially why iPhones don't have SD card slots.

    Guess you're not much of a techie.

                  Only few sammy boys care about specs, 99% of users buy overall product and user experience not specs. i bough specs in 90's when i thought bigger numbers on paper means better device.

                    Even on Android or Windows phones the phone will perform poorly and sometimes give errors because of bad SD cards.

                    Some people go for cheap low quality SD cards and if it affects the phone's performance, it will be the phone and the brand that get the blame.

                    This is the reason why most high end phones don't have SD support.

                    And it is more secure than having an SD card too. It is a method Apple use to keep it's products safe and secure. That's why there are so many restrictions in Apple devices. They try to isolate the product from external devices and apps as possible. But unfortunately iOS is the easiest to hack.

                        And how much of that went to taxes? Google looks like a better company every day paying their taxes paying their dues and making sure their employees are paid well.

                              They just cut the crap that's adding extra cost and mainly attracts power users. If you compare the specs of an iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6, the iPhone gets demolished. Does it matter for the average user? Nope.

                              Look at Beats headphones doing the same exact thing. Spend money on branding and image and use poor hardware to keep cost per unit down. Shockingly Apple also owns Beats and the removal of the classic audio jack is probably going to push Beats sales through the roof because of first party lightning port support.

They knew people wouldn't buy the 16gb version. The big upgrade from 16gb to 64gb allows them to increase the price drastically. And people have no choice but to buy the 64gb version despite the price bcs 16gb is just too small. That's also a reason there's no 32gb version.

                                    Myself don't believe anything this company says. Even if there are profits, most probably by doing some kind of illegal stuff or manipulation to keep stock prices up and people engaged into their products. I really think that people are releasing that Money Corporation is all about money and that is why they are losing profits and their products are selling less and less.
