In fact Apple fans are the ones stuck in the past, pretty much EVERY phone manufacturer out there has phones with SD slots, you tried tho !!!

But why have a SD card when you can just have the internal storage included.
And of course it's expensive. It's a premium phone. If you want a 128GB premium phone but have no money just
otherwise turn to the cheaper less practical method in which you displayed above.

I mean c'mon now. The **** already costs enough money. Now a bitch can't replace his earphones with some temporary earphones from the corner market?
The monopoly is real. |

This what gives Apple fans a bad name. Posting before reading
They are NOT getting rid of the headphone jack on the iPhone 6. It's an IDEA they brought forward at a developers conference.

I tried, and succeeded in not having a flop android malware susceptible Apple knock-off. Internal storage means faster access to content. I'll move from 64GB to 128GB if Apple's next model have a model that high. Anything to avoid the stylus-riddled, iPad sized nightmares of the Samsung world.

That doesn't make any sense though
They aren't getting rid of the headphone jack. They just wished they could.
So getting annoyed that they are, when they aren't, means your post has nothing to stand by

This is the Note 3 we're talking about, a 600€ (over $700) phone, let's not
And the SD slot is just a bonus, it's a plus and doesn't hurt your phone, how is that a bad thing ?
Internal storage is faster, yes, hence why I got 32GB INTERNAL, but at the same time I also got 32GB extra !

You're so but hurt. I wonder what you'll say when Apple will introduce 5inch+ phones, suddenly they won't be "too big", right ?

LOL, yes I'm butt hurt about having an iPhone after finally leaving Samsung. No more lag for me, enjoy your SD memory sis, the future of 90s technology for the non-butt hurt!
And I specifically meant your Galaxy Note 3 size-wise, which is hilariously oversized. Apple will go bigger, but that phone is

The article says that's what Apple wants to do. So if they do do it, I won't be purchasing. Hope off my quote.

The Note 3 is in the same size categories as the Note 2, Sony's and HTC's latest flagships despite them having smaller screens, thanks to its tin bezels. How is that being oversized ? Not everyone is like you, some of us like them big.

You responded as if you thought it was happening to the iPhone 6.
Even if Apple did decided to do it, it's too late for them to do it with the iPhone 6 if they are just in idea stage. Hence any comments regarding this idea and the iPhone 6 are not applicable.
You read this and all immediately thought of the iPhone 6 which is where I corrected you.
I didn't say that you guys ditching Apple if they implement this idea is wrong

You said you won't be getting the iPhone 6 BECAUSE of this. Not in general:

Shorter battery life. And battery life is skimpy at best already.

Since theyre allegedly releasing the iWatch later this year it makes complete sense. Bluetooth headphones should be the future. I personally do not enjoy walking around with wired headphones.

Bluetooth headphones have been around for a minute now and the complaint has been the same: Bluetooth drinks battery life. Always has. A device's portability will always be restricted by its battery life. If only there you could swap out your battery on demand...

People cried when they got rid of the disk drive and the CD drive YET here you all still are... living and ****. The SD slot complaint has been here for years and guess what? iPhones sell like hotcakes without them.
|
Because they were replaced with devices that held more storage space, but had took up less physical space on your desk. There was a benefit there. What benefit is coming out of this move? Remember when every manufacturer had their own proprietary headphones? look how well that turned out.
It's been a known fact that the lack of an SD slot is a big gripe of the iPhone, thats one of the reasons why the market share of the iPhone went from like 50% to 18% in a matter of a few years.
