Well, it's also useful since (usually) the previous phones stay on at a lower price. So it also serves as a "would you do well by buying a previous model instead of the new thing?" For people with older phones.

Yeah, the SD card slot is right next to the headphone jack this year.
No and I doubt we'll see them offer it as a feature for quite a while.
Too bad. I don't get Iphones but my wife does and because she takes so many pictures always fills it and her cloud within a couple months and then forever plays the game of deciding which pictures to delete before she can take another.
Real solution: take whatever money you would spend on an SD card and get more cloud space
Nah. They're usually just a small speed upgrade and maybe a better camera. Though this is the first time an S has came with a larger phone so it might be worth it some people.
Ehh... Cloud space charges you per month while SD cards you can keep after one payment.
Yeah, but if the cloud space costs $12 a year it's kind of a wash
Era stays triggered. At this point mods should color code threads so we can know how outraged to be before we even enter them. I'm actually considering the XR or 8...
Do you actually not want it or are you just putting up with not having it?
Come on what is this nonsense? My iphone 4 from 2010 takes better pictures then the one on the left
Yeah because my 7+ was stolen so I bought the X about two months ago. I hate how small it is and the terrible battery life. Getting an XS Max, selling the X.
Sure. I'm on the Apple Upgrade Program, so why not? I'm probably never going to buy one of these phones outright. So if I'm always going to have a monthly phone payment anyway, I don't mind essentially resetting my contract for the newest phone. I take a shitload of pictures and videos with my phone, so the camera upgrade is worth it for me.
After next year though, I may just skip the S version and upgrade after two years.
Friday is going to be awesome! Upgraded from an 8+ to XSM. iPhone upgrade plan is perfect for nerds :P
Its been 11 year since the first iPhone, if Apple didn't add sd card support pre-cloud era, why the fuck would they bother now?
It makes zero sense for apple to add SD card support when they are taking out 3.5mm jack for sake of "extra space"
its not a question of do I want it or not. Yes, nobody would complain about having an extra feature.I also want replaceable battery and 2 USB C ports. But at the same time I know that there is zero chance of this happening. So why waste energy asking for this year over year.
i don't even know why i'd need one
i have an X at the moment, full of iTunes movies, Apple Music downloads, photos and apps with space to spare
I have. My first and only iphone so far is this 6. 16gb version. With the Max that's coming, I'll never worry about space again, but you better believe I felt hampered constantly with such little space.
Can you even install apps on the expandable storage? I couldn't on my old Androids.
I mean, if everyone asks for it wouldn't they add it?
That said based on the responses here I guess most people buying this phone don't really care which is fair I guess.
I would bet less than 5% of those who buy an iPhone even know what a SD Card slot is. Easily. I honestly would bet if they did a poll of Galaxy S/Note owners the majority of them never even stuck a sd card in the phone lol.
I want a removable battery in high end phones, but it'll never happen so its not worth complaining about.
Guilty! I never took advantage if this on my note 8. I also hardly use the S-pen but that's another story.
Galaxy S7, so both will be a big upgrade. I don't have a smart watch but the Series 4 feels like the product has truly arrived now. I will probably get the watch eventually but I'd wait a few months if I went XS.
How is the X blowing up the lighting that badly? That doesn't look any different than how my 6 handles it. Can that be right?
Emmm... I've got a launch 8+ and its still fantastic.
I'm not sold on this arbitrary commandment that all phones be bezeless. But if I must have one, I don't want a notch. Fuck a notch. It's dumb. I don't mind a slightly thicker bezel at the top... just give me that Apple because I refuse to get anything with a notch.

Dumb. Yes. Noticeable after an hour? No.
Worth it for the screen space.
I'd notice it. I'd forever notice it as an IT guy. I can't take having more space but knowing I coulda had just a tad more pixels without the notch.
I'd imagine things like better low light, better HDR and improved Portrait mode may take advantage of hardware as well as software. But there's no good reason the bokeh adjustment in Portrait mode is exclusive to the newer phones.
As a fellow IT guy, having the notch, but with overall a ton more screen space compared to the ugly chin and home button and upper bezel of old, is well worth it.
I'm going from X to XS Max. After having a Plus phone for so long, I kinda hated my X for the year I've had it.
