Meanwhile a fast, name brand, 1tb micro SD card is about $100. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children) That's the Apple business model. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) That Android phones haven't hesitated to adopt...

Especially if you have something to repair, they will happily quote you close to half of the price of new device so you go "ah, then I might as well buy a new one". permalink fedilink source parent
