How to add a microSD and SD card slot to any iPhone for $13
We wouldn’t call Apple a “greedy” company, per se, but we can certainly see why
someone might think that. The company often puts the consumer first, but there
are some things Apple does in the name of profit that are decidedly
anti-consumer. The most obvious example is obviously the iPhone, which has
sky-high margins that Apple refuses to budge on. Instead of building a microSD
card slot into the iPhone, Apple charges an arm and a leg for storage upgrades.
That way Apple can charge customers an extra $150 for an iPhone with more
storage. Meanwhile, the larger memory chip only costs Apple an extra few bucks.
If you’re tired of coughing up all that extra cash, check out the Fixget
Lightning Memory Card
Reader<https://www.amazon.com/Fixget-Lightning-Interfaces-External-Expansion/dp/B074SDZ8SV?tag=b0c55-20>.
It’s not quite like having a built-in memory card slot, but it’s just $13 on
Amazon and it lets you offload your photos and videos onto a microSD card or
even a full-size SD card.
