With Data limits only increasing in this day and age an WIFI being virtually everywhere in better developed countries, storage isn't as much a deal for many as you might believe.
All in all, if it doesn't suit you, don't buy an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S6. There are plenty of options. But millions of users don't seem to care.

Anonymous, 29 Jan 2016I would say only a niche number of users do not care for sd... moreWell, there are a number of downsides to SD cards:

And FM Radio? Who needs low-quality radio when you can stream online? It's a thing of the past.
As for removable batteries. I've not seen any of my friends or colleagues carry around a spare battery, but EVERYONE has a USB Powerbank. So that solves the non-removable battery issue.

Anonymous, 28 Jan 2016Have nonremovable batteries and absence of an SD card slot ... moreThe majority of users don't NEED SD cards or FM Radio, or a file manager and non-removable batteries. That's a very niche segment of users that keep on insisting on such features, which in Apple's eyes only cause problems.

Anonymous, 28 Jan 2016Have nonremovable batteries and absence of an SD card slot ... moreMicro SD is archaic tech. iCloud is a thing. Who gives a flying fuck about the ports being changed? Throw your old shit away and buy new shit. It's not that hard. and if you cant then you will get the new ports in the damn box. I bet your one of those children who love constantly changing themes and icons, for well, who knows why, FM radio? Dude my car has one and even then I NEVER USE IT. Apple Music is a thing you know. See where this is going? They change markets, they are at the steering wheel, and the rest follow. Need an example? Well this article is one. You wanna laugh? Here's a joke: There are still people out there who still use Micro SD's! I know hard to believe! lol

harlekkin, 27 Jan 2016Pretty accurate argument if you ask me. Have curved screens... moreHave nonremovable batteries and absence of an SD card slot (and giving a measly 1GB RAM, changing their ports at will, lack of customisation, lack of a file manager, FM radio etc.. I could go on and on) satisfied any user needs? Don't make me laugh.

They should do a version of the S7 with a removable battery and a microSD port with a 6 inch screen.
This would be the perfect phablet !
