#3I have so many tablets and cheap phones that don't have the storage to play high-end mobile games, it would make a difference to me if I could expand my memory easily. (Edit: some folks got excited because I said "memory" when I meant "storage")

#5I agree 100%. And when people inevitably claim that the reason for eliminating the headphone jack is so you could have a phone that could withstand being dropped in water, I think back to the Samsung Galaxy S5 that I bought 10 years ago. It has a headphone jack, a microSD slot, and a user-removable battery, plus an IP67 rating.

#7Yeah but how does Google/Apple make money off of cloud storage when you don't need it?
In some ways it's better to just get a usb-c fob for this functionality...have a problem with your headphone jack or microSD slot? Throw it out and replace it.
I'd rather see TB+ storage on my phone.

SD cards are storage, not memory.
