Nice to see another feature getting removed to make phones slimmer which is necessary because of uhh... 'Cuz the uh... You know that thing that uh...
Because we have to force “features” that no one asked for.
Right but you gotta make money somehow. The 3,5mm jack was removed to sell wireless headphones. The SD card slot is gone to force you to buy a phone with more soldered storage. Why this? Can't be data collection, they have it all already.
Because they save money in manufacturing.
Bonus is if you have to go in to move your phone - there's a chance you buy something.
