For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

          My personal conspiracy theory is, SD card slots were removed from phones so Google, Apple, and Samsung can more readily push their cloud storage subscriptions

            This seems fair - especially when you start looking at how Google seems to be continually further hindering file access in Android in the name of Security. I use my file system a fair bit on my phone and it just keeps getting worse with every new android release.

      Oddly enough Apple still includes SD slots and headphones in laptops (my M1 Mac Pro has them). But not in their other devices…

        That’s not really that odd though, since laptops are gigantic compared to phones.

        But I guess, iPads should also include them.

            Ah I misunderstood, I guess I assumed the OP was talking about phones.

            Glad they finally put the SD reader back on the MacBook Pro a couple of years ago, I was wondering if I’d missed them adding it to their phones.
