In case those lurking aren't aware, Alan Baker is an Apple troll who denies
anything about Apple that he hates which, in this case, is that only Apple
fucks every single customer up the ass EVERY time they install an IPA.

On non-toy operating systems (e.g., Windows, Android, Linux, etc.), if you
install a free app on one machine, you can install that same app on another
(as long as we're assuming compatible hardware & underlying API versions).

But on the toy operating system from Apple, every single IPA has your
unique Apple ID (or family plan ID) locked into the app - even free apps.

Since Apple directly ties *EVERY SINGLE APP TO YOU!* that you've added to
your iOS device (via your mandatory AppleID required to install that app), 
Apple is well known to track that app usage directly to your own actions!

Apple *lies* when Apple says there is more privacy on iOS when nobody can
track all your app usage on any other operating system but Apple's iOS.

While Apple's lies do harm (because people pay for a privacy they can't
get), it's way worse than that when you try to re-use those IPAs on another
device, when that other device MUST be one registered to your own Apple ID.

No other operating system vendor but Apple fucks their customer like that.

On Android, every free APK can be re-used on *any* compatible device.
Same with Windows. Same with Linux.

Only Apple fucks their customer with every single app that is installed.
a. Apple's lies about privacy (there's less privacy on iOS than Android)
b. Apple's app tracking (look it up!)
c. Apple's lock against reuse (of free apps!)

But Apple is a commercial system. They do not provide free software. On 
all systems, you can install commercial software only on the machines 
the license entitles you. If it is one machine, then it is a single, 
one, machine.

It is perfectly fair for Apple to provide commercial software. Many 
companies do the same for other operating systems. Nobody is obligated 
to provide their software as free. It is their choice, and no, you can 
not blame or insult them for that. Just don't buy it. That's your choice 
as customer.

Hi Carlos,

Both Android & iOS are unique in a way that no other operating system is:

Android is unique in that every app installed has its installer autosaved.
Which is a good thing. 

iOS is unique in that every app installed is locked to a single Apple ID.
Which is a bad thing.

Apple *lied* when they claim iOS is more private than Android when, in
fact, Apple tracks your use of every app by a unique ID inserted by Apple.

No other operating system would *dare* to track its users so invasively.
Just Apple.

> They do not provide free software. 

We're talking about free app installers that the user downloads & installs.

We're talking about what's *different* about Android from other operating
systems, such as that installer APK is always sitting on the file system.

That's unique to Android.
And that's a good thing.

Because that free installer can be re-used at will.

Note that on every operating system other than iOS, you can re-use a free
installer on any compatible machine - so what's UNIQUE to Android is the
fact that the free installer is ALWAYS auto-saved to the device itself.

> On all systems, you can install 
> commercial software only on the machines the license entitles you. 

Re-use of commercial apps is an (almost) completely different topic.

While payware app installers are also auto-saved on Android, that only
allows the user who bought the app to re-use it within the terms of the
purchase.

So, of course payware apps are locked to "something" to prevent re-use.

We're only talking here about free apps, mostly that the user installed
(although for Android, the re-use extends also to installed system apps).

> If it is one machine, then it is a single, one, machine.

We're talking about what's unique to Android for free apps, which is:
a. Every app installer (free or otherwise) is auto-saved on Android
b. No other operating system auto-saves that installer, by design

On my Android, as you know, I have about 900 free apps installed.
There is the original installer saved on Android for every single one.

That's how Android works. 
Android never deletes the original APK for installed apps.
And that is a good thing.

Because it allows re-use.
Specifically for free apps that have a "last known good version" APK.

So even if the specific app or specific version is no longer in the
repositories, the user can use that app for himself & for billions of
others for as long as the hardware it's being re-used on is compatible.

That's a good thing.

Almost everything about iOS is bad for the user in terms of app re-use.

On every other operating system other than iOS, if the user downloads and
installs a free application, that app installer, if saved, still works on
*billions* of other similar devices (let's always assume they're compatible
in terms of hardware & API levels for the purpose of this discussion).

Only on iOS does a free installer only work for one user & one user only.

That's unique to iOS.
And that's a bad thing.

And only on iOS, does the mothership insert a unique tracking ID into every
app, and then Apple uses that tracking ID to invade your privacy every day.

The extent of that privacy invasion inserted on every app is unique to iOS.
And that's a bad thing.

I don't disagree that both Apple & Google (and Microsoft too) screw their
customers trying to make a buck off of them, but what's unique isn't that.

What's unique to Android that no other operating system does, is Android
saves every installer automatically. The installer is always there.

And that's good.

What's unique to iOS that no other operating system does is Apple
deceitfully inserts a unique tracking ID into every app you install.

And that's bad.

With many Android phones you can double the storage space in an instant.

Here's a 128GB high quality SanDisk 200MB/s sdcard for twenty bucks.
https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-128GB-Extreme-UHS-I-Memory/dp/B09X7FXHVJ/

If that is too small, here's a fast 512GB card for thirty-five bucks.
https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-microSDXC-Nintendo-Switch-MB-ME512SA-AM/dp/B0CWPPMD8W/

How much does it cost to double storage space on a typical iPhone?

Only, if you can use MicroSD cards *and* if you configure the card to be
used as "internal memory". Otherwise they only get added as external
storage and can *not* be used to install apps on them.

And since MicroSD cards tend to work much less reliable than internal
memory, you may also experience problems when using them this way. And
if the card does not work any longer, this usally means you have to
setup at least all affected apps again and sometimes your whole device
starting with a fresh installation, because you can not just replace the
card *after* you have configured it as "internal memory".

A better approach is to get a device with enough internal memory for all
your apps and their data (even mainstream devices provide at least 128
GB or more nowadays) and use an MicroSD card for additional data like
pictures, music etc. only.

There are two use models for sdcards. Integrated Storage (also known as
Internal Expansion) & Removable Storage (also known as Portable Storage).

While anything can fail, your argument against removable storage is first
wrong, and now faulty. https://www.wikihow.com/Use-an-SD-Card-on-Android

Your argument is wickedly against trains because truck tires can go flat?

Your argument is like you saying we have to use a freight train instead of
a truck to move goods and then you complain that trucks get flat tires.

The reason your first argument is dead wrong is that you argue against
trucks because freight trains are constrained to railroad tracks.
https://www.zdnet.com/article/best-microsd-card/

The reason your second argument is faulty is that there's redundancy in
truck tires & failures are few & far between that they're still useful.

Your entire argument is first dead wrong & second overly pessimistic.

You want to get a good memory card where it has met standards & reviews.
https://www.amazon.com/Memory-Cards-Top-Brands/s?keywords=Memory+Cards

You argue that you need to buy a warehouse because your argument is you can
only transport goods using freight trains (which are severely constrained
to railroad tracks) but then you state the reason you must buy an entire
warehouse is because truck tires don't last forever, so you can't even use
trucks. You must buy a huge warehouse to store your stuff.

Put back in direct terms, almost nobody uses sdcards for Internal
Expansion. They use sdcards for Portable Storage. 

You need to look up the difference before you make wrong & false arguments.

No, it is based on nearly 20 years of experience with that. Do you want

I didn't mean to offend you. I was just explaining that there are two
possible common uses of sdcards on Android devices, one of which is to
extend the memory but almost nobody bothers doing that nowadays.

The second usage is what everyone who puts a card in their phone does.
It is instant "extra storage" which is cheap and reliable.

You can say you have "many examples" of cards that failed just as the rest
of us (including me) have "many examples" of cards that did not fail on us.

I've never had a card fail. Does that mean anything? Not much.
It just means that putting the card inside the phone works wonders for me.

If I wanted to, it's easy to back up as almost all PCs have sd drives.

If putting the card inside your phone isn't working for you, then maybe
your phone is a Pixel? If so, that's your fault for buying Google phones.

Both Apple & Google don't want you to have inexpensive reliable storage.
Can you guess why?

Let me guess.

Apple gives you 5GB of "free" cloud storage for your 256GB device, which
means you have to multiply that 5GB by about 50 times to store your stuff.

If you want to expand your storage about 200GB, both Apple & Google will
charge you the same low low incredibly low (act fast!) monthly fee of only
a mere pittance of $2.99 per month, which is about $36 for a year (which,
incidentally, is about how much any similar sized sd card would have cost).

But then you need that storage for ten years (or whatever), so now that
one-time NRE of ~$36 would have saved you ~$360 dollars paying for storage.

Since both Apple & Google benefit to the tune of a few hundred dollars per
each person who owns their devices has to pay them, it makes sense why they
don't spend the couple of bucks it would cost for them to put an sdslot in.

I pay Google 2 bucks/mo US for 1GB. Not a big $$$ deal for me. YMMV. I use
 it for off site backup (like if the house burns down) and it is also
 conveniently available to any of my devices pretty much anywhere if wanted
 or needed. A card just wouldn't provide the same service or use, although I
 do keep one locally in case Google burns down.

Most all the Google Android devices I've owned over the years were made by
 somebody else. And they made the SD slot decision, not Google. An example
 would be this Chrome OS tablet I'm posting with made by Lenovo. It has no
 SD slot and the culprit is...yup...Lenovo...

Typo. Should be 100GB

My only problem with that thought process is that it's a justification for
NOT having something. It's like a guy with only one leg justifying why he's
hopping all the time. Phones with the sdcard slot can hop just like you do.

The point was that Apple & Google don't put the sd card slot in phones for
a reason, which is NOT that they want to give you the best phone possible.

They want to cut off your leg so that you buy their prosthetic device.

Guess you missed my point (and fact). Unlike Apple iOS devices the vast vast
 majority of Android phones (and tablets etc) that run Google accounts and
 apps are NOT made by Google and thus Google has no say over whether the
 device has a slot or not. That is the *individual manufacturers* choice...

Thanks for the clarification which I agree with you I had missed the point.

There are 1,936 Android models (2020 to present), with a standard sd slot.
https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2020&sAvailabilities=1,2&idCardslot=1

There are 986 Android models (2020 to present), without a standard sd slot.
https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3?nYearMin=2020&sAvailabilities=1,2&idOS=2&idCardslot=1

Out of 2,922 recent Androids in use today, 1/3rd have a standard slot.

The biggest Android seller is Samsung, which outsold the iPhone every
quarter for the past few years (except for a single quarter last year).

So let's look at Samsung phones for the percentage that have the sdslot.

There are 134 Samsung models with that industry standard sd slot.
https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3?nYearMin=2020&sMakers=9&sAvailabilities=1,2&idOS=2&idCardslot=1

Compared to 44 Samsung models without the industry standard sd slot.
https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3?nYearMin=2020&sMakers=9&sAvailabilities=1,2&idOS=2&idCardslot=3

Out of 178 recent Samsung models still in use today, 75% have the sd slot.

We know Apple's strategy is to fleece the customer so it's zero percent.
But what about Google whose strategy is also to fleece the customer?

Just as with Apple, there are 0 Google phones with the standard sd slot.
https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3?nYearMin=2020&sMakers=107&sAvailabilities=1,2&idOS=2&idCardslot=1

So my statements remain backed up that Google & Apple don't provide what
over three quarters of Samsung phones provide, and Samsung is clearly the
best seller on the market bar none (Apple iPhones don't even come close).

I wonder if people buy Samsungs because they don't have the strategy of
fleecing them by removing hardware so that the consumer has to buy it back?

I guess it's how one reads your original statement. When one compares Apple
 and Google phones I think most folks think Android phones with Google
 installed. But you are correct if you mean only Google Pixel phones. I
 guess what threw me off is that would leave out the majority of the
 non-Apple market, many with no slots. Shouldn't they have required some of
 your wrath too?

>I wonder if people buy Samsungs because they don't have the strategy of

I bought my Samsung phone over 5 years ago and I can't remember what my
 reasons were for buying it over other brands. But I can tell you it is
 still a virgin. I've never had any need to stick anything in it's slot...

I'm glad you clarified and I apologize for not fully understanding you.

I think we're both communicating well now, given how conversations go.
When you said 'Google', I didn't realize you had maybe meant 'Android'.

When I think of a "Google phone", I think of the Pixel model only.
But you were apparently thinking of Google's Android OS - which is fine.

The beauty of Android is if you *want* the sdcard slot, you can get it.
Most Android's sold are Samsung & 75% of the Samsung models have the slot.

Maybe that's why most Android's sold are Samsungs in the first place. :)

If you don't need the memory, the slot doesn't help or hurt you.
But if you need the memory, NOT having the slot hurts you a lot.

Fundamentally, everything else being equal, a phone without the slot is
clearly a substandard phone to one that has the slot. That's pure logic.

I'm use to people making the argument that a worse phone is better.
But they don't know anything about basic logic since that makes no sense.

A phone with the slot, everything else being equal, can not only do
EVERYTHING that the phone without the slot can do, but it can do more.

And what it can do no phone on the planet without a slot can hope to do.
That's worth a lot when you need it; and it's worth nothing if you don't.

I'm reading you and posting back in an Android group...

When an Android phone won't operate unless it's signed into Google it's not
 hard to think of it as a Google phone. I think many folks think that way
 and perhaps that's why I've never heard a Pixel owner refer to his phone a
 Google phone. Have you?

Yup. And the market has lots of phone choices for you slot needing folks.

>Fundamentally, everything else being equal, a phone without the slot is

Not so much. It depends on the need of the customer. I have an iPhone user
 in my house that's been using for decades and no slot complaints. Fact is
 I'm not sure she would even know what we're talking about.

Yup. It can also collect dust and crud. Same with the USB port I never use
 (wireless charging). Hopefully my next phone will be hole free.

>And what it can do no phone on the planet without a slot can hope to do.
>That's worth a lot when you need it; and it's worth nothing if you don't.

As I said, 5+ years with no need of the holes on my phone. I suppose some
 will bitch when the power plug leaves too. Being modern I use my phone
 wirelessly, both charging and data. But as always the market will decide...
