Again, to summarize:

Dan: blasts Samsung for moving on from old, outdated tech.
Also Dan: acquires new tech (Tesla) whose entire premise is moving on from old, outdated tech.

We got sidetracked on me comparing Tesla to Apple. Pretend I never brought up Apple.
I realized that was a mistake on my part when I triggered the group-think hive here that worships Android and would hate to be considered remotely connected to Apple. I lost my point as soon as I did that.
While I thank you for the compliment (hard to come by on an Internet forum) I would much rather you present thoughtful insights of your own to carry your side of the discussion.

Calling names is easy. Backing yourself up may prove to be more of a challenge.
I use a flip phone 95% of the time and have no horse in the smartphone race, and I also never drove or even rode in a Tesla, but you are totally missing the boat on what Dan is saying. One is taking options away from you while the other is giving them to you.

I love how people are arguing whether or not Tesla is superior to Apple while Apple is orders of magnitudes more successful.

I don't believe that was the argument.

Apples (no pun intended) to oranges. They’re in completely different industries and Apple is an established company that was one of the first to mass-produce a home computer, while Tesla is a disrupter.

I love how in this thread people are discussing the value of replaceable batteries when cocoa pebbles are infinitely better than fruity pebbles

Specifically a regular SD card slot to accommodate photographers.

Either way, this "outdated" and "ancient" tech is being brought back. By Apple.
I daresay we'll see another flagship phone with SD storage again.

I was saying it למעליותא, some laptops these days just have a micro SD card slot. A regular slot covers both.

We will, but not from Apple. None of the iPhones ever had one and Apple makes major bank on iCloud and internal storage upgrades.

I would be surprised if when it comes out, it's not a iSD card, which is exactly the same as a regular SD card except that it costs double and doesn't fit in any other device.

Or an iCard, or whatever other name Apple comes up with.

Though that wouldn't do much to accommodate photographers
Right, the same way Apple makes a convenient charging cord to accommodate human beings who already have charging cords.

The only reason they'd put the reader there would be for content creators, which are a big part of the MacBook user base.
In other words, unlikely :)
