Thankfully, Google isn't copying Apple's dumb SIM strategy (www.androidauthority.com)

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.

To be fair I'd forgotten about the local music use case, I've been streaming music for so long.

Pictures and video, in my opinion, are too valuable to not be backed up, so IMO people shouldn't be shooting enough to fill half a terabyte before moving them elsewhere.

But very good point about it being people's main device more and more—I guess it says something about my assumptions that I just assumed everyone has a bigger main device to offload content off to

I don't know if it's a problem anymore, but there's something in wasting write cycles on a disposable SD card instead of unchangeable drive and also dedicate SD for demanding processes like recording a 4k video while the system drive is free for other processes. Does it make sense today?
