Apple has forced its US users to switch to eSIMs without any real benefit. Google, on the other hand, has kept the tried and true SIM slot.

    It’s not just about expanded storage on the device though. I want to be able to read SD cards from other devices (like my dashcam) on my phone. And no, I’m not going to get a USB adapter because I fucking lose those things all the time and cannot find them when I need them

      What about one of those sandisk 2-in-1 flash drives that’s got a type a and c port on each end?

        Those don’t fit the use case. I want to be able to take the SD card from assorted devices (cameras, dashcams, etc) and pop them in my phone when I want to review or send things.

          Well, at least for now entry-level samsung androids still have a tf slot by the sim card, it just isn’t very hot-swappable
