- Most Android phones have an SD card slot, which allows users to add extra storage space to their device. But Apple has never brought the feature to iPhones, and there are some good reasons why. Starting with the user experience.

This is very accurate. Something that was missed is, that it gave apple the opportunity to make more money on cloud storage.
Pay for additional storage.
i know i just upgraded to the iphone 13 pro max 1tb model just for the storage
@@shahaffiq5860 Lol yeah they are just greedy.
Apple could also just sell their own internally branded SD cards that most iPhone users would probably buy instead of buying a third party one
@@kirakira9906 clearly you never bought Sony.
You don't have to shop for an SD card and pop in to your phone if you don't want to. It's an option. It's all about presenting the users with choices so that they can make an informed decision rather than making that decision for them.
That’s true bro, they charge you more by taking away your freedom to choose and making decisions that you may not prefer at all
You do have a choice. Buy an android phone if you love SD cards so much. Hell there’s some high end android phones that don’t have SD card slots anymore.
No company whether it’s Apple, Samsung, Google or what ever has the obligation to put an SD card slot on their phones.
@Chris my Samsung note10 plus still has a slot for sd card, it's either double sim cards or one sim one sd, it depends on the version you buy though, sure you don't get another slot if you buy single sim
@@Ccg9024 lol, you think I didn’t know that already? We’re here to have a civilized discussion and may be one day big Corps will listen to us and act in our best interest. One can dream. Chill out bro.
@Chris and the choice you talking about isn't offered by the product you buy, more like a personal choice though
As an iOS and Android user I can say I've never found it "complicated" buying an SDCard, never experienced any reliability issues and noticed no speed differences opening a video on my Android phone or a video on my iPhone. iPhones have their place but its a bit like comparing a Speak and Spell (iPhone) with a Linux server (Android). Yes if you find things "complicated" you are probably better off with an iPhone, but if you want the freedom to do what you want with *YOUR* phone, then Android is the way to go.
Sadly some people just don’t care about what your preference is, if you like one company, the other company’s extremists will hunt you down
Same here
You're right, with an iPhone you're very limited, unlike an Android. It sounds like your statement is calling iPhone users stupid, hahaha.
@@ciro8431 I mean.. honestly.. some are .
Like the same people who say Fingerprint sensors, widgets Face ID, apple having better screens (even though Samsung manufactures it), and edge to edge displays all being apples territory first lmao
@@baka3262 yeah some people have too much love for a big company that couldn't care less about you as an individual, none of the companies do, so I find it confusing why people can't just let others have preferences or genuine needs for one or the other
Wow, Apple has avoided unnecessary complications by not giving the option to expand storage, I also wish to see Apple remove phone settings & other usual smartphone features to make it simpler so that users don't have to worry about learning it.😂😂🙏
Just remove the Camera so users don't need to worry about stupid things such as "family photos"
found the android user
Wow. Thank you for making unnecessary complicated opinion. We all need it
Oh yeah lets forget about iCloud
Haha you are Donald Trump 😃
Simple answer, Apple wants you to pay more for an iPhone with larger storage or pay for iCloud, no other reason.
yeah agreed on that we all know that is the point, but icloud is really good. i never use icloud service before, i just starting subscribe it since last year and i found it really convenience and easy and more practical than sd card
Yep
@@ci.lantro8384
only if you got internet all the time
Yes
I guess that’s why Samsung doesn’t have SD slots in their flagships nor does Google.
Yeah, these vids are usually fairly accurate at highlighting the subtle advantages of what is typically an extremely unpopular design choice from Apple, but in this case it's just dancing around the uncomfortable reality which is that Apple sell you phones with extra storage at an unjustifiably extortionate cost, and also sell a cloud storage service. There's really nothing more to it than greed.
seem like to be the case every time I bump into their video lol
Apple is a for profit company just as Android companies are. You believe they perform business and make choices to just be nice guys?
One could very easily say Android throws everything but the kitchen sink into their phones knowing full well it makes it almost impossible to support the OS for as long as Apple, causing the phone to lose greater value in a shorter span of time. It's all greed on their part, right?
Apple definitely couldve given the option. SD cards may be slow and prone to failure, but theyre great for inexpensive, bulk storage for misc files
@ava dee not true, you can get a decent phone for as low as 200€ nowaday, we're not in 2017
i think 9.5/10 of his videos are garbage lol
Uh… SD cards have never been inconvenient for me, and I’ve never heard anyone say that either (been using Android and Apple for years). The reality of this is simply that Apple wants people to buy the higher priced phone for more storage, or pay for cloud. That’s all.
Sums it up pretty good to me.
Me too
Even though android flagships are starting to phase out sd card slots
Or they haven't figured out how to put one on the iPhone yet...
sd card nowadays only useful in Camera and Nintendo Switch, I see no reason to use it on a phone too.
@@fakuri913 bruh.
There’s never a good reason to not include the option to expand your memory. Much rather spend $20-100 on an SD card than spend $1000+ on a new phone with more space.
Every SD Card I've used in an android phone became corrupted within 1-2 years.
My experience with them has been very, very poor.
Additionally, apps cannot be stored on SD card. Only photos and videos and some other files, which absolutely does save much internal space so there's *some* benefit but it's certainly not a true 100% storage expansion because it comes with exceptions.
no apps can be stored dont lie@@laurenslee9134
@@laurenslee9134 especially when ur trying to download something onto ur sd card, it takes more time to download onto a sd card than the internal storage
Missed one crucial detail. iCloud. Why would you pay for monthly iCloud storage if you can just pop in an SD-card? Now, I'd much rather go with iCloud than an SD-card myself, since I just don't like dealing with those things all the time (had a fair few fail over the past few years, though not on phones).
the thing is, not everyone uses icloud
Cloud is simply someone else's computer
@@planetphatness Kinda. It's Apple's suite of computers made specifically to transfer and store data over the internet with specific software to do so.
@@planetphatness No, they're large heaps of water that stay in the sky when the pressure is low enough.
You don't actually have to deal with iCloud, like there's no moving photos from my phone to iCloud, you just turn on the iCloud Photos and voila. Same with other stuff. iCloud is seamless and integrated.
I think Apple actually wants their users to use iCloud instead of SD cards
@@themastereal8345200GB for £2.49 / month you mean. Very cheap.
@@Gowieee Yeah multiply that by several months and that's huge profits.
200GB for $3 USD a month or 2TB for $10 USD a month. That’s not too bad. Plus you’ll have access to it from anywhere.
which can get hacked
@@kirakira9906 and also very cheap.
I feel very few people have had this "headache" with expandable storage.
These last couple of Apple Explained videos - SD card and no dedicated back button - have been really interesting videos. I mean sure Apple likes to control seemingly every little detail, we've known that for years, but Apple must really not think much of their user base at best or that they're suckers and idiots at worst.
No SD card because the user can't help themselves to make a decision about what memory size they think they'll need? Have you tried buying an iPhone? Users can have trouble deciding what memory size they'd think they'd need with the built in memory just as easily as an SD card. SD cards have a limited number of cycles? So Apple develops an SD monitor to let the user know, your SD card is pretty old so you should consider replacing it before it fails and you lose all your stuff. SD cards are slower than internal memory? Ah, okay, maybe, I don't know and if they are we're talking what(?) nanoseconds or something?
Android thinks more of their users than Apple does. That's evident once again. Memory is cheap, Apple makes a killing (and so do Android manufacturers who've ditched the SD card) and that's why Apple doesn't support the SD card - revenue. It's a cheap and easy way to bolster your memory, you set it once on the app as to where to store particular things and you're done. It's quick and easy to move entire caches of files from device to device, I know because I easily moved my music from an old Android device to a new when I switched phones not to long ago.
Apple really must think they're users are stupid idiots who can't think for themselves...
Or... It's because Apple wants to offer iCloud storage service.
The facts about experience using SD cards storage is real, but Apple just forgot to deliver a better experience managing files. The App Files was added to iOS just a couple os years ago. Before it, the experience of salving, searching and opening some file was terrible.
Do the iPhones now have File Manager? Asking for a friend. ...
@@ultrasoundconcept not really
and using icloud has most of the mentioned problems too, or is even worse ie. speed and managing where you want to store something
@@ultrasoundconcept it has “files” which has a weird interface
@@ultrasoundconcept kind of…. Hahahhahaha
But better than nothing.
i would be willing to deal with these "inconveniences" if i had more space at a cheap price. just put a uhs 2 or SD express micro SD slot that should make the wait times pretty reasonable
Sorry for the wrong words should be fixed now
To learn what uhs 2 and SD express means check out this video th-cam.com/video/oLQ8A_vcBqU/w-d-xo.html again sorry for the errors
True
@@ios7jbpro whats true
@@twistedwhiskers8776 your comment is true
i rather to deal with that inconvenience too instead of paying more money for storage instead of sd
You also missed the fact that apps and operating systems get larger over time, so if you are using an older model without expandable storage, you will have to delete things and will feel pressure to buy a new phone. The card slot gives Android users the ability to expand their storage as needed, and thus allow their phones to last longer.
As a devout Samsung /Android user, I feel this video highlights the inconveniences of having an SD card. Transferring your phone? Move all your photos and stuff to the SD. Not slow at all. Have a 2GB video you want to watch? No lag on opening or viewing the file.
For the longest time, I feel Apple didn't want expanded storage because they wanted to control cost. You want bigger storage? Buy the more expensive model.
And that's just the storage issuse with apple vs Samsung. There are many more differences, most coming down to user freedom and accessibility to the phone.
But I get it that most Apple users enjoy the simplicity of their apple product, I just enjoy having more freedom and access over a device I paid for.
Stepping off the soap box.
V30 is still enough.
A2 card exists.
come on 😂
1) if you don't want to use an SD card, just don't use it 💁🏾♂️
2) is the space you gain from removing an SD card port significant?
3) how often do SD cards really fail? my current one has been around since 2018
anyway, in a nutshell, this is just another of Apple's "create a problem, then sell a solution"
1. If you want to use an SD card, just buy a phone (that's probably cheaper) that has one. Not the company that never used them in either their phones or iPods.
2. I doubt it. Apples vision of their product just doesn't involve sd cards.
3. Only needs to happen once for it to be front-page news if it's on an Apple device.
They didn't create a problem. That's just what they want their product to be.
@ava dee I don't think you understand how encryption works.
@ava dee is iCloud encrypted?
Where do they store your data?
@@boopsnoot3145 they did create a 'problem' because now iPhone users have to buy higher storage phones by force, and not by choice (that guarantees more money for Apple). also, they now have to use apples cloud storage (and, yes, you guessed it, more money for Apple)
anyway, I'm just saying that the reasons being stated for not having an SD card port don't really have any weight
Apple can charge up to 5 time more for same space as Sd card, and also it will prompt you to buy a new phone every 2-3 years
Did you even watch the video smooth brain?
Most reliable (name brands here. Not these Chinese rip offs) SD cards with a high amount of storage cost more than the most expensive iCloud plan
@@Ccg9024 Well yeah, except you can use the same one for years and years and even if you get rid of the phone you can continue using the same one in the new one or repurpose it. Apple isn't garbage but SD cards are amazing.
@@OlDanTucker I agree about your point. An iPhone can last at least 5 years if you don’t care for the latest features or the faster processor speed. A little over 6 years or so from you’re iPhone’s model release date is when it’s no longer supported by the latest updates. A new iphone ever 2 to 3 years does makes sense only if you really want the latest features or you’re a hardcore mobile gamer. I like to do every 3 years.
Ironic, you speak of Apple prompting users to replace their phone every 2-3 years yet Apple is the only smartphone makers who make it possible to properly use your phone far beyond 2-3 years thanks to OS updates. I suspect that irony is lost on you though...
I bought a 32 GB sd card in 2014 and it still works fine today
Long story short, Apple just wants you to pay extra for extra storage.
@@---oi5zi I mean a SD card can also be accessed at any time, also in a tunnel unlike any cloud service
Having the storage on iCloud also causes the exact same issues of where your files save
That’s a single issue
But apple doesn't care about the problems, they just care about making money, apple users will deffend anything they do
@@dantevito1193 trust me we don't a lot yes but not everything
iCloud is annoying, never used it
@@dantevito1193 I trust my SD card more than iCloud. I’m an iPhone and Mac user and paying $10/month for extra storage is terrible. Even if it’s just $10, you’d be paying it monthly, like rent or water bill. That’s why I buy my own software, music and hard drive. Simply paying them for months is like renting them, another thing I hate.
An SD card is an additional storage that you can add to your device only if you need it as you can already buy an android phone with 128 or 256 GB (or more) capacity. There are SD cards with different speed rating where some are faster than others. And if you like recording in 4k, you can always select your phone's storage in your camera app as it is generally faster than SD cards.
Since the iPhone 15 pro max now Apple allows external drives through the type c port so you can use any storage option like, usb flash drives, external ssd, external hdd, and a sd card with usb adapter
Or, the most likely route is that apple wants you to buy higher storage phones and cloud storage
I do think that SD cards are convenient. Especially because they are very inexpensive these days. For example, I got a 400GB card from Sandisk during the black Friday sales two years ago for just 30€.
And if you get a new device you can also be sure that any SD card you get is going to work fine. You just have to be cautious about the quality of the card which can usually be solved by getting one from a reputable brand and a reputable seller so you don't get a fake card.
And I don't even find it inconvenient to manage my storage. Internal storage is for apps, external storage is for media like photos and videos. Done.
The only issue I see is speed. Because compared to modern internal storage micro SD cards are very slow. In certain recording modes you can't even use them and the phone will record to internal memory instead.
Flash memory has also become inexpensive though. The upgrade from 128gb to 256gb doesn't add whole lot to the price these days. And I think the improved speed and reliability compared to an SD card is worth the extra cost.
But still having the option to use one would be better than not being able to use one at all.
Most iPhone users just don't care, or want to deal with SD Card configuration, space management would be hell for them especially when some users still can't do some primitive tasks without help. The fact we think it's easy doesn't mean everyone does.
@@_xwtk Oh absolutely. There are pros and cons to both of them.
I'm a tech savvy guy, I know how to manage the space on my phone. But I also can see that some people simply don't want to deal with that.
Also, the S22 Ultra I got now doesn't have micro SD expansion either. I would have liked a micro SD slot but I'm not mad that it doesn't have one because I see the advantages of fast storage and copying everything from the old phone through Smart Switch also included the SD card, so the switch to the new device was still painless.
@@MattisProbably True people can just buy a high storage variant of a phone instead of dealing with SD cards
@@venator7889 The whole point of buying sd cards over internal storage is that it’s cheaper and you can add it when you need. Your point defeats the purpose of this debate…
So i agree sd cards in today’s market is spectacular and while yes most brands are a bit pricey you can definitely find cheaper ones. However apples experience is seamless it works well too well to be exact. Apple built their software where you don’t experience too much write on your internal storage this why your able to last your storage longer then most cheaper androids with the same storage size. And then theres iCloud and while its monthly the price is actually reasonable and worth it because 1. With sd cards you have to manually store data and choose what to store because 2. not everything will get stored into an sd card, iOS iCloud when you back up your iPhone ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING gets stored into iCloud and restore your backup you get absolutely everything (its impressive you get all your settings, wallpapers, photos, and app data so you don’t have to double sign into each app.) 3. And if you need non cloud base storage i recommend getting a hard drive storage where you can get 1tb of storage for up to 100$ where sd card lack because after 500gb then they start getting pricer
iCloud storage requires an internet connection and is not that fast.
However, the sd card does not use any internet connection to use it.
But the advantage of icloud storage is that you can access it on your ipad or mac computer.
You can also have google drive or dropbox.
1:06 "Shopping for a new micro SD card is complicated."
Me: You Serious?!
It's the most stupid thing I've heard in a while!
This isnt correct, if you have ever tried using a dongle with a sd card, you would know that it isn’t complicated and is good enough with speed (supporting 4K)
Secondly, it’s not complicated for the user, photos take up a lot of space on a phone, put the photos in the sd, and use the inbuilt storage for games etc.
Thirdly, it doesn’t take up more space, some iPhones have dual sim, why not replace one of the sims with a sd card
technically only one sim slot. dual sim card in iphone mean 1 is using esim (virtual) and 1 sim (physical) card. for esim u dont need actual physical slot
SD cards are worth it, despite the headaches they can cause. You can turn a 512 gb phone with a 1 TB sd card.
They are slow tho
@@fatcrruise6508 not much slow if you give a bit extra. And let's be honest, if you can record 4K directly into the card, then the wait times are just a fart.
@@fatcrruise6508 That's if you buy the slow ones. Get a UHS-III card and you'll enjoy it.
@@fatcrruise6508 i bought an shitty 10 dollar 64 gb sd card for my phone way back in 2018 and its not even one bit slower than my normal storage.
Another reason why I think is because if they give users the option to store apps on it, it makes sideloading very easy by moving the card to a computer with some apps on it, add another app, then plug it back in, and get access to an app outside the App Store.
you forgot that you can buy higher icloud storage to expand storage so if you got a low capacity phone, just get a good capacity icloud storage and you don't have to worry about having to upgrade your phone until you want to do it. The only disadvantages are monthly subscription pricing, internet connectivity and speed.
iPhone 13 Pro with 1TB of storage: $1,200
1TB SD Card: $30.00
You decide.
$50 for 500gb SD card however
Apple can charge $500 for 500gb if they remove Sd card slot
Total scam
Correction, you don't need to Decide whether to put your files on internal Memory or the SD cars Manually over and over again, There's an. option that let you chose if you wanted to save your files on the Interal storage and manually move the files yourself or automatically save it On the SD cards by Default.
I never once had a problem Using SD cards, Everytime i take a picture, Screenshot, Download Music and Apps of Google play it automatically Saves it on my SD card. And if you're unsure what is the Compatible Sd card to your device, just look up the Specs it's just right there.
This is what I was wondering about iPads! Since I just learned it, this helped!! Ty!
I wouldn’t mind paying a little extra or pressing a couple more buttons or even slower read and write speeds if it means I can have more storage
1:44 I think THAT is the REAL reason
at 0:31 you can just go to settings and select where do you want to save files, its a one time process, it isnt a headache
then if your sd card is full just change it, that isnt even a headache
when you change your phone it asks weather if you want to transfer the data just say yes or no, it is a one time process
1:24 it isnt slow at all its just that apple makes it slow
the whole point of not adding a sd card slot is to make more money for apple
I’m an apple fan and only use iPhone *but so much here is wrong…* buying an SD card isn’t hard. SD card speeds these days are fine. It’s motivated by charging a huge amount for upgraded storage and selling iCloud plans. Simple as that.
How come newer iphones don’t let you have a landscape home screen?

@@abel.a8142 Is that really the reason? Couldn’t they have just made the widgets disappear when rotating?
@@abel.a8142 Then what about when you have no widgets put out.
I use an iPhone 6+ as my main that I got last year with 16Gb. Never had any major storage problems. My other phone is a LGV35THINQ from 2018 with 64GB of storage.
Never had any compatibility issues with any SD card or storage device and I have a 123GB SD card in it now that has been working since I got it when I got the phone back in 2019.
Never had the SD card fail and I have actually used it with other Android before.
It has always been fast and very very reliable!
But maybe I am just lucky I don’t know.
And I find the Videos play from the SD card only take 1 second to load if any time at all, but usually instantly loads.
And only loads like once when I open it after that I can go through the vid just fine no problem at high speed.
So yeah SD cards are a great option for me and I will need a new one soon because I am running out of storage space on mine.
(Storage hasn’t been a problem on my iPhones I mostly use iPhones for internet stuff like TH-cam or Instagram ECT,)
Same with me lol. I've been using an SD card since 2018. I never thought of using it as a main storage device. I only use it as a backup or for keeping large files. It's also convenient to transfer between devices. It helps me a lot especially with a low 64 GB Samsung tab. Never felt any of the issues mentioned in the video. Some people says just to have iCloud but people don't always have high speed internet connection or have no internet at all. It's always better to have an extra option rather than taking everything away for convenience
It must be a challenge to transfer data from one sd card to another. Apple is so considerate to not give such a confusing task to us
Now, he should rename his channel from Apple Explained to Apple Justified.
I would love to have a SD card slot in my iPhone 5 back in the day. Today iCloud is much more convenient to use than a SD card in my opinion. I am also a hobbyist photographer, so I deal with SD cards all day, it's not great.
So are you now against it or not???
Do you now love or hate sd cards?
1:50 these 3 words are enough😂
have been using samsung Evo 32gb sd card for 10 years still it's working , i brought it when i had a nokia 5800 express music back in 2011-2012. the same card is still in use on my secondary phone.
Thanks a lot for the info!
Really appreciate it!
This is perhaps the last thing that prevents me to go from Android to Apple. Why am I going to pay an extra 400€ for storage when I can buy twice that for 20x less with an SD card ?
You cant even put an entire app on sd card, so sad.
The problem is Greedy manufacturers are following apple. Most high end Android phones like Galaxy don't have SD card support
Apple provides several benefits from iCloud+. And the iPhone will be supported far beyond your Android. Have you considered that price/cost?
@@timincal2002 Have you thought about how apple has decided you are too stupid to be trusted to make a decision about your device?
@@---oi5zi Same with Android.
I never thought of an iPhone ever having an SD card lol
I think the copyright issues were the most important in 2007 as iTunes supposed to be the only one legal music and movie source for an Apple user. Adding memory card users could have abused this thing.
I remember when Apple created the iTunes store, they had to promise to the music companies that they will fight against the illegal copies.
1:32 BTW, the same read/write rules apply to the internal storage. It will fail, too, after a certain number of read/write cycles. The difference is, when the SD card fails you can replace it. When the internal memory fails, you have to grease up and take your phone to an Apple store to get it fixed.
Internal memory do not break as easily as the external one
I have been using android all my life only switched to iphone recently cause of the 4k video recording and it also increases my editing efficency since inedit on an m1 mac … but i do wish i could upgrade memory or atleast have a higher storage option without the hefty price tag 😣

acting like apple is the only company that want money lmao
Apple can be a shithole sometimes but y'all hating on it for the dumbest reasons
I agree, but it's still nice to have the option. Just like the headphone jack. Most people don't use it, it has many disadvantages, but it's still worth the sacrifice. Just to have the option
"One size fits all" vs "customize for your needs".
It goes along the whole “it just works” line. Most iPhone users don’t want to manage storage. They want everything accessible from on device or the cloud. Like the iPods of the past. Many chose to get the higher storage option so they didn’t have to manage music. Their entire library was on the iPod. No need to worry or decide what you felt like listening to that day.
No one forces anybody to use Micro SD slot; I have one on my phone and don't use it but it's nice knowing, that the end of storage capacity isn't the end of my device.
don't use it if you don't want, the real reason is to force people to use icloud, for money, just like the removal of the 3.5mm jack was to force people to buy airpods
Correction, most phone users don't want to manage external storage. Usage of SD cards in smartphone is a tiny tiny slice of all phone users.
This is the part where TH-cam tech nerds make 95% of the noise but their use cases make up 5% of what users do.
@@neolordie yet many android phones got rid of those things 💁🏻♂️

Most SD cards are fast and carry large volumes these days and I don’t think reliability is an issue. Also I don’t think there is much difference between the SD and flash storage in terms of speed and reliability unless you are comparing it with PCIE which is another ballgame. Problems are mostly Android always having trouble moving app data onto the card which is most Android users want. I had four Android phones and they all struggle doing just that.
The only Thing in this video thats accurate is that SD card's rarely fail if ifever at all they're not slow nowadays they're not complicated you just choose whichever one fits your budget and has enough capacity for you The only thing that's true is that Apple wants money
I think SD cards are very important and convenient for photographers and business men. They are so small you can easily travel with them.
I have an idea on how they could make it work. They could make it so there’s another variant of iPhone that has SD card capability, more expensive and they could make it so the user could choose a default storage area for applications and such but not the operating system and the device attempts to warn The user when their SD card is gonna fail like how it does with SIM cards. And if device storage fills up it automatically transfers new things over to the SD card or maybe some large things during sleep mode while it is plugged in thanks to device on board learning it knows what you use the most and what it can throw onto the SD card. Like the most used app stays on the device storage but the most unused app if it takes a lot of storage gets transferred over to the SD card during the charge routine that the device learns to know when you aren’t using it similar to screen time tracking on and off time. This could be implemented into iOS 16 with all current devices that will support it but need a accessory.
1:15 "Amount of storage their device supports."
With PRECIOUS few exceptions, an SDXC-compatible device will accept any SDXC-compatible card.
The "Up to XX GB" is just the largest size at the time so they couldn't claim that a 1TB card would work when only 128GB card existed (for example.)
The storage speed might apply to extremely high-bitrate recording.
SSDs and internal the NVME storage used on iPhones and UFS on Android also has a limited number of write cycles.
These write cycles (of internal and SD) GREATLY exceed the amount 99.999% of users will ever go through.
The only valuable/relevant piece of information in this is at 1:50.
Not including SD card expansion means Apple can charge $150 for 128GB of storage which you could otherwise buy for $14 in the form of a MicroSD card.
Well explained, thank you
More profit for apple yeah thts the reason
As a 13 year Samsung user that is about to make the switch to iPhone it cracks me up that people think dealing with an SD card is complex or hard to choose between different SD cards but it really is the truth. Most people just want a photo that works and they don't mind being told by the manufacturer what they can and can't do. Now the S22 Ultra doesn't have an SD card slot so I'm jumping to the iPhone.
Great explanation. Love ❤️ your channel.
This is a controversial topic , thanks again to clear our doubts
Propaganda, its all about money
@@Lizini I actually think apple is full value for money , you don’t get this shit in Samsung or any other awful tech companies
@@dekurottjeagerLol
1:20 bro you alright? Didn’t expect this from you... I don’t think someone ever experience something like that. I use S8,s9 to note 10 it never ever slow or feels like unreliable. Apple just wanna cash grab from that users. ICloud is worst. Using them for once you never knew when it backup and photos taking time to load. I had a bad situation and where I want those old photos to as a proof it didn’t open on time and store anything on the time when we needed. SD cards are great expandable memory and one time good payment. I’m using this SD card since 8 years and unreliable is something I didn’t find. You could do that video in some seconds with “GIVE MONEY AND GET ICLOUD WE DONT USE SD CARD HERE” sadly now even Samsung removes it which is why I still got the s9 plus as a second phone.
I was using my Xperia Z3 with an micro SD card, and I had to choose if I wanted the photos to go to internal memory or external memory, of course I chose external to save space for apps. The downside was burst mode didn’t work well using external storage. The external storage couldn’t keep up. The included 1080p video. 4K? I would not even try. If I use the phone’s memory, everything works fine.
When my Mom got her Galaxy S7 Edge, I went out and bought her a (Class 10) 128GB micro SD card from Samsung. It was great. But 6 months later, it made my Mom’s S7 Edge extremely slow. So we had to default storage destination to internal storage and just transfer the photos and videos to the external storage later.
Tbh, it's a LOT easier for me to upgrade phones with an SD Card. All of my SD card data can just be unplugged from one phone and plugged into the new one without having to pay for iCloud to sync over 100GB and waiting for the download to finish eventually; everything's there instantly and without any delay. And if I decide that I want a new SD Card for the new phone, it's really easy to clone an SD Card (just drag and drop the files between the devices using my desktop and let it sit for a few minutes). Of course, that step is always completely optional. Most everything on the internal can either be dragged from the old phone and dropped into the new one, but the majority of it will sync automatically.
Psst... USB OTG and card reader.
@@kornaros96 Works (and I have used them on Android before to temporarily access additional SD Cards, say from a camera, without having to eject my internal card); but it's an extra thing to have to carry around and remember to plug in every time you want to access something on the SD card (and a lot of them aren't discrete by any measure of the word). Also, might not work out so well if you leave something running in the background while accessing SD card content with the screen locked and you unplug the OTG reader out of habit and have that "oh crap" moment as you realize your SD card's filesystem might be bricked now. I prefer my SD card to stay inside the phone as an almost integral part of the system unless I'm copying over massive amounts of data from a PC
What about security and encryption? Adding an SD card would certainly reduce overall security.
If you are the only one using the SD card, where is the security issue?
SD cards can be locked.
No it can’t lmfao
Nah Apple want you to pay for more storage that’s all.
I suspect it goes back to iPods and iTunes. When they were trying to negotiate contracts that would let them store music on a device, there was no provision to have removable storage, so you couldn’t take that memory card, put it in your friend’s computer, and give them a copy of all your songs (and movies). Since the iPhone follows the same contracts, there’s no removable storage there, either.
you should make a video on why apps shake in edit mode
1:55 "things like a larger battery" the standard iPhone 13 has ~2000mAh less than even cheapo crappy Android phones with a price tag not much more than an Apple phone... Dongle (3240 vs 5000). Now yes, Apple does a lot with that limited battery thanks to optimized software but the point still stands, the battery's tiny by comparison.
Absolutely what I was gonna say. The flagship Apple device has a SIGNIFICANTLY smaller battery every year compared to the flagship Samsung device. Larger bezels, smaller camera module, same size or smaller CPU (more effective).
I always find it hilarious when people defend iPhones not having legitimately useful features (like a headphone jack or SD card slot) because it allows them to have a larger battery. Until the 13 their battery life has been abysmal.
13 year old on apple explained be like:
Oh wait everyone's like 13 here on this channel, cause they don't know shit about android, the channel followers are not tech enthusiasts just crapple fanboys 😆😆😆😆
Apple SD card:
$99 for 64 gigabytes
$179 for 128 gigabytes
I have been an iphone user for almost a decade now and i never miss the SD cards since everything can be uploaded into icloud which is easily accessible from any apple device or anywhere which in my opinion is a very convenient option.
you can buy an external sd card reader for $10-20 depending on brand and what-not. Which means technically you can use a micro sd card with an iPhone. You just have to deal with the inconvenience of having to use an adapter and a 3rd party app.
Because of Apple's greed of gaining more money by selling more storage variants
They sell the exact same amount of storage variants as EVERY other company numb nuts
@@jimjamjon2285 with no sd card duh
@@Konkov which companies still have sd card’s??
@L. G. eww LG fan can’t even get a good droid phone
@L. G. lmfao no they don’t. Samsung don’t have them anymore, Huawei don’t have them, OnePlus don’t have them, google don’t have them, Xiamoi don’t have them…who has them exactly..?
I’ve had an sd card fail on my old Samsung phone and I lost a ton of pictures. Nothing I could do to recover them.
P.s. you forgot one thing with apple not offering an sd card. It’s so they can sell you more iCloud storage.
always do backups, that's the rule
If your data doesn't exist in at least two places, it doesn't exist at all.
You can do backup on your PC
I think you use a fake SD Card that why you lose this pictures
1:05 I can put any in my phone (Android) or notebook, and it would work.
It's mainly the professional camera guys that care about the special SD card specs.
the point that SD cards are slow isn't true anymore, the steam deck launched and multiple reviewers said that they could not tell the difference from booting from an NVMe drive built in, or the SD card that was external, its all ab out optimization.
1:25 doesn’t iCloud take longer to open a large video file compared to a micro sd card? Just wondering
Not all SD Cards are slow tho
Well yes, because it needs to download. He’s comparing the speeds on device vs SD
Well it’s good that apple never allowed to put SD cards other wise that would make their customers not patient
imagine if they went a Huawei-like approach and made something similar to the NM card that looks like a nano sim
I totally diagree.
These days sdxc cards are available.
There is more writing speed on them.
There is no compulsion to use sd card if slot is given.
This is purely marketing strategies of manufacturers of not providing slot.
Instead they offer 2-300 bucks more for larger storages.
Apple started and remaining started following it.
Some of these stuff about how inconvenient sd cards could possibly be might be true, but that alone isn't a good reason to not give users the possibility to use it... I'd rather have the option and not need to use it, than not having it at all... Apple probably cares much more about making users pay for iCloud storage than they care about users having an inconvenient experience with slow reading speeds or the user having to spend 2 minutes of their day choosing whether they want to stote stuff on internal storage or sd card.
One thing I'd like to see a video of is an explanation why there is no audible low battery alarm on iOS devices? You ave to unlock your phone to get the 20% and 10% low battery notifications. The only time you get a noise is while on a call. That is one of the few things Android has a leg up on Apple. The low battery alarm goes off at 15% and 5% whether you touch the phone or not.
The only reason they have that is because android phones are absolutely terrible at holding a charge when the display is off. iPhones do a great job at holing a charge when sleeping, so there wouldn’t be a point in them having an low battery alarm when the phone is off.
Also, notifications in general are more in your face than on iOS. It really doesn't matter what notification it is, unless you set it to a lower priority, the icon will show up. There's also a lot of cool things you can do with persistent notifications like LastPass's notification that lets me auto fill in legacy apps which is great for compatibility!
@@achaffer1237 what if you weren't sure if you remembered to charge it or not? I've been on both sides I'm not an Android or an apple fanboy I play with all technology
@Jadel Labradoodle251 No, I think you’re the wrong one here. The Galaxy Note series has good standby battery life for an Android. The key phrase there is “for an Android”. Even if you’re telling the truth and it only loses 10-12% of battery per day in standby mode, the iPhone still obliterates it, as it sometimes won’t even lose 1% after 24 hours of standby.
I admit, i miss having an SD Card, but i use my OneDrive account for backing up my photos now & then. iCloud i mostly use for OS Backups.
I hope eur union will do something regarding this issue, at least we got removable internal memory.
Yes. That’s the way to go!
Apple Explained = Apple Paid Me
Because its better for them to sell a more expensive model of the same iPhone with more storage than let people buy a 64go version and add more with an SD card which Apple wouldn't earn money from or even better, push people toward iCloud. User Experience my ass
Edit : What do you mean shopping for an SD card is complicated ? If you don't know how to use your phone in the most basic way you might just buy a $20 phone off of amazon and put your sim in it. There's nothing complicated about knowing how much your device supports and buy a matching SD card, you're making things up.
It really feels like you're praising Apple too much recently, you should rename your channel Apple Ads or something
Even back then when I owned an Android, all of those kinda things were explicit enough to be understood, the iPhone is a really great phone, but you need to see the bad things of it and not just praise it for everything and justify every bad things with this kind of ridiculous statements, this is not how products evolve. Tell Apple their bad things are good and you'll eat shit forever
Love your channel, hope it gets better next time.
I remember the Google Photos ad "Storage Full".
These are good reasons. Though the main reason is because it saves them money, and they can make more money by upselling an iphone that has more onboard memory. I still wish Apple let you put in an SD card though. As when buying a subsidized phone from the carrier, they generally only get the model with the lowest amount of memory.
This is so true. It was nice to have the extra storage on my old Android phones back in the day, but such a pain in the rear with the fragmentation. Nowadays since things are mostly cloud-based, I feel that there is less of a need for SD cards. About the only thing that takes up physical room on my iPhone are the green bubble texts and my apps, everything else has data stored in the cloud (Google, iCloud, etc.)
Now that 1tb exists on iPhones, is that really necessary?
What if you dont want to pay 400$ extra?
Wait 15 years, 1TB on the iPhone 13 is gonna be like 1GB on the first iPhone
nope
It cheaper and make it easy to transfer photos and transferring dose not disrupt device use
Also, less holes = more waterproofability if that’s a word
I asked people who did and didn’t know Dudley squat about electronics %100 percent of them would rather have an SD card. I somewhat agree with this video, but id ditch SD cards entirely if only 32 extra gigs didn’t cost $100. We also need just slightly faster storage speed to make this phone conveniently usable.
If you do your research you can have a pretty seamless experience between micro SD and your smartphone. I've had Android phones for many years and a performing micro SD could play 4k videos from my gallery without performance issues. Now that I have an iphone I use Icloud which is pretty much why I think apple doesn't have microSD slot in their phones. Why would I pay a fee every month for Icloud if I can double my storage with a one time (and not even much expensive) purchase?
