I might be an outlier on this one, but what was SD cards good for? Hear me out :-) It was good because you had a phone with 32GB storage (11.3GB free!). It also was good for swapping photos and films and such in/out of the phone.
I have a meager 128GB Storage space on my old phone, if I had to buy a new one (I buy used when I can) I'd opt for 512GB just to not nedding to care any more. I also have a ten dollar 64GB USB-A/USB-C key that I use to transfer stuff to and from the phone. I'm too lazy to set up a shared folder on my PC and maybe that's a bit technical for some people but that could make things even more smooth.
So what's your use case that absolutely needs an SD card nowadays?
Side note: they can try to pry the 3.5 jack from my dead hands though.
I thought I was going to be that way with the 3.5 mm jack but once I bought a pair of Bluetooth headphones I've been chilling, they're really good nowadays unless you're going full audiophile with .flac files
"Bluetooth is good" is not a counterargument though. Because all the phones with headphone jacks also had Bluetooth. They took away headphone jacks and gave us absolutely nothing in return except coercing us into buying more expensive and disposable shit. I've been using the same $20 wired headphones for 7 years; can you say the same about your $150 BT buds? I got a pair of Pixel Buds A with my P7 and they died in <3 years.
Most $20 earbuds don't make it more than a year, and that's that I take good care of my stuff.
These are the ones I got (they're $16 now) note the replaceable wire. Also added some Comply foam tips (not sure exactly which ones) and they're so comfortable that I will forget they're even there sometimes.
Yeah actually my Jabras are probably pushing 5-6 years right now. Maybe slight reduction in battery life but I never wear them for extended hours anyways.
Shrugs, I do use my FIIO BTR DAC sometimes (somewhat audiophile I guess), hooked up to my headphones. But only when the jack is not working as expected. Am I doomed?!
