    If you have 512gb of storage I think you likely paid more for your phone than I have for my last 3 phones combined going back 5 or 6 years.

    Decent wired earbuds are $20. Bluetooth earbuds in that price range are terrible and uncomfortable.

    Some of us can’t or won’t spend lots of money on disposable tech like phones.

    You consider yourself a power user, I’m just a guy who needs a phone to phone, text and do a few internet tasks like casual games for work downtime.

    I don’t have anything against people who like having the latest and greatest tech but I don’t have that urge or see the need in some cases. I generally don’t like being pushed into spending more money with no appreciable gain in functionality.

      I guess if you’re just using your phone for a few tiny things, the lack of an SD card should be no problem. What good is tons of storage if you’re just “texting and doing a few internet tasks like casual games”?

      And dedicated headphone port or not, you can always plug wired headphones in with an adapter. The port is still there, it’s just a modern port, not one from the 50’s.

      Still waiting on a real answer to why these dated features matter so much. Sure, my flagship phone may be more powerful than anything you need, but that doesn’t fit the narrative that these phones are missing critical features that you apparently need, especially not in terms of storage capacity or accessory compatibility.
