I just want one with a removable battery and a headphone jack...
And SD card support. Why TF do I want to pay a mint for storage when I could spend like $50 (or less) for the equivalent (or more) in SD form?
it's not that you want to, but rather that the companies want to charge you $100 more for $5 of ROM.
Either that or get you on a cloud storage subscription
That you'll need stable internet to use (so goodbye using your media library while camping/offroading)
Not just that, but they get to charge $100 dollars more for the $5 of ROM while avoiding the support costs and reputation hit of idiots who force the SD card in the wrong way or blaming the device when the SD card is inevitably sheered in half after being forgotten about during a battery replacement.
Unfortunately every market incentive just aligns against expandable storage in phones.
Read Only Memory...?
This, also should the phone die, you can still take out the card and don't lose your photos (fuck the cloud).
A home server is not cloud.
The people who still want SD cards have never had an SD card fail on them and it shows.
