I see your points but as I said, having the option is always better than not having it.
And most people use 8-12 gigs from experience
Personally I use way more...

Simple
Because of great marketing.
Apple took an underwhelming phone, (I call it a feature phone with some smartphone functions) and marketed the crap out of it, programmed people to think it was the greatest (including myself at one point) and it sold.
You market something right it will sell no matter how bad it is.
Look at Mc hammer and vanilla ice.
Or souljah boy.
Horrible acts, yet markets correctly they sold.
The original E. T. video game for atari. So bad, yet still cleared a million

C'mon Hustleman, you gotta be joking. Marketing will sell a bunch of things once around, but a shoddy device that isn't meeting it's user's basic functionality needs doesn't dominate the market, and become the gold standard of the industry for several generations.
Ask anyone why they like Apple products, and the common answer is, "It works." Period. That simple factor mitigates the high cost, restrictive policies, limited selections.. everything. The only people who are saying marketing drove it, or they buy them for appearances are irrational fans of other platforms. Hell, for the very reason of it's easy functionality, I got my mom one. After the first few days, I didn't even get any questions about how stuff worked. And my mom is not a tech person at all.
All the musicians you mention burned bright and fast. Once everyone saw through the hype, they were done.
If no SD was such a debilitatiing problem for the majority of the people using cellphones, you wouldn't see manufacturers moving away from them. The whole "carriers want you to spend money on data" argument is weak. even without an SD card, the vast majority of people can get a basic data plan and still not go over. Looking at accounts is an easy way to see that, and it even surprises most people when they see it. Not to mention the fact that phones with big internal storage negate that argument completely.
In six months, people will say 64GB should be the minimum.

Yeah iPhones do just work. I don't understand your hate towards them at all. They are amazing phones that accomplish nearly all tasks Android devices can(stock to stock)"it just works " lmao
9 out of 10 of my customers with a tech problem are iphone users.
It really isn't simpler than say an Android.
Apple has celebrities using iphones and just like any product (Jordans for example) people will buy it if celebrities have it, plus they marketed it as a high end premium product. This allows them to sell yesterday's technology at today's prices.
Ask someone why they pick or are interested in Iphone you get the following
" it's an iphone "
"everybody got one"
"I have a mac"
"i got used to it when it came out so I'm comfortable and don't want to change "
Every now and then someone says" it does more than any other phone " and when you prove them wrong 35% will get something else, some stick with it, some go home to research it.
Look at Jordans.
They don't do ANYTHING that a regular pair of Nike's don't do, yet cost much more.
Why?
Marketing.
They become status symbols, to the point that people have then and can't even pay their child support or rent

I come completely agree with this post. What is so hard about adding a tiny little slot for a SD Card?

What kind of problems are we talking about here?
What's your point, that Apple pays celebrities to use their products? How do you distinguish them from people who use Apple products simply because they prefer them?
I suppose that's why when celebrities tweet their love for competing products, it is often done from an IOS device?![]()
There's no way to ever get the data for real numbers on this, but I'm willing to bet that "most" Android phones have less than 2GB free internal storage and are using the cheap 1GB microSD card that came with the phone.
Remember, even though there are 100 Million high-end Android phones out there, there are 800 Million low-end ones, too.
