Basically every current flagship phone, and you know that's what they mean, has done away with expandable memory....
Which is utter bullshit. Especially since a lot of lower end phones have the option for dual sim or one sim and sd. There is literally no reason for flagships to not have that and make file transfering easier.
Or a headphone jack, yes, a large number of people have wireless earbuds....but the audio quality off them isn't amazing, and goddammit I wanna plug my really nice headphones in, or connect to a stereo without needing to use a Bluetooth dongle or....or....fuck....idk....just stupid. The big players saw apple cutting all that away(barring expandable memory, they never had that as far as I know) and said fuck what people want, apple can dictate what their customers want, and we want to too! And then getting a device with enough on-board storage is hundreds of extra capitalism tokens. It's a fuckin mess....
It's sad that because most people dont care about these things we dont get to enjoy them either.
