[citation][nom]bustapr[/nom]^lol testerguyI cant believe he actually admitted to Step 2. first, "cheap accesory" and "apple" dont really make sense together. Second, why the hell would I want to buy an accesory. third, SD Card slot is always a welcome feature instead of a locked down phone which you have to completely upgrade(buy a new one) to get more memory. Fourth, apple rarely ever releases superior tech on their phones. Fourth, you have no idea how lithium ion batteries(which power nearly every electric mobile device including apple and android) work. They all degrade and sadly they all suck on phones. Only difference is you have to pay extra to replace the one on the iphone. learn your facts dude before making a fool of yourself.[/citation]
1 - Did you miss the part in Step 2 where I explained to you the modern world doesn't use SD cards? Also, you don't have to buy an Apple accessory, so your point is flawed (Apple has THE MOST third party accessories). Thirdly, if you desperately wanted to use SD cards and also have the largest app store, software support, battery life and fastest hardware, you wouldn't mind paying a couple of quid to add an SD card connector to your iPhone, which sticks out like 1cm. Just like you can buy portable phone chargers which take up less space than a spare battery.
2 - SD Card is only welcome to a tiny minority of people who need it and aren't capable of working around it. Which is not many.
3 - Any normal consumer would have to upgrade ANY PHONE to get more memory. There's nothing 'locked down' about the iPhone at all, in fact given that Apple actually offers software support for devices 2-3 years old you're far less locked down with Apple than you are with Android.
4 - Apple never releases superior tech on their phones? For the last 7 months nothing has been able to even remotely touch its CPU/GPU combination. The SG3 released 7 months later is JUST ABOUT catching up to the GPU and a cheap Siri knock off. What exactly do you think is revolutionary about all the slower Android phones?
5 - It doesn't cost you any more to change a battery in an iPhone - you just go to the shop and do it. Batteries in iPhones do last longer, that has been proven in numerous studies. If you had a clue about how battery technology worked and hadn't decided to make a fool out of yourself, you would know that a whole range of factors are relevant in determining lifespan of battery, from peak/min/average power draw to charging patterns and speed to size, temperature, etc. The combination of design in Apples products means that they last far longer, so much so that I know of nobody who's had to ever get a battery replaced in an iPhone.
