i,

android, however, at the end of the day, is android. and no matter howmuch you customise it, no matter how accessible it is, at the end of theday, it's android, and trust me, some of us don't like it. and no, it'snot a matter of being able to use it or whether it's accessible.

Pablo,

I'm not sure why you think it's wrong for a for-profit company like
Apple to want to make money on their products. I guarantee you that any
company not operating in this fashion won't be long of this world. And
you speak of Android as if it's one company instead of the multitude of
companies that make devices that run under Android. If you don't like
Apple's closed file system which seems to be working pretty well for
them based on their sales and current stock price, you should use an
Android device and I hope it meets all your needs. That's the way supply
and demand is supposed to work in our economic system.

Pixel doesn’t have a sd card slot, but it is not the only android
device. Samsung and many other big cellphone brands creates phones with
sd cards.

Really the problem with apple is that they want to make money with
everything, and they want to handle what you place in your iPhone
memory. With the story abour copy rights they have done very difficult
for users manage music between iPhones, or also between iPhone and other
devices. Yes, we can use iTunes to transfer music to our iPhones, but
use this app is really difficult for standard users. More over in
android devices you can store there documents of all types, you can
create folders and subfolders in the same way how we do in our
computers. In iPhones the story is different. It is one of the reasons
why I bought an android device. Android and IOs have different politics
and different cultures. Apple’s culture is money, money and more money.
Android’s culture is share, share and share again. Apple wants to
control so much what we do in our devices. Android gives freedom to do
what ever you want, and more important, in a very easy way.

Hi Victor,

I am not sure if Apple could keep their walled garden concept and offer
SD card expansion slots. If you allow people to introduce media on an SD
card then the OS must have access to the folders or maybe it would be
more accurate to say that Apple would have to give users access to what
is on the SD card and that would possibly defeat the purpose of the
closed nature of the platform. Any SD card, even the newest and fastest,
would also introduce a lot of latency in how fast things get loaded and
I think this all goes against what Apple wants to achieve. I think
actually that even some high-end Android phones are moving away from
that, but I might be wrong, just something I heard. Does the Google
Pixel for example have an SD card slot? Lastly, having such an expansion
slot on an iPad is one thing because there is probably plenty of space,
but having it on an iPhone is most likely not very practical as there
hardly is any space left as is and of course making a highly waterproof
or water resistant device would probably be much more difficult if the
device had an SD card slot. Personally I have no problem with Apple
offering internal memory, I totally agree that nowadays 16 Gb doesn’t
get you far, but I wonder how many people still buy 16 Gb devices if
they can get a 64 Gb device (4 times the space) for $100 more.

Regards,

Sieghard

I don’t agree. Granted, the 300 dollar price tag is nice, but not with
the memory it’s offering.

I think the 32 and 16 models of any device is outdated, unless it’s got
an expansion slot for an SD card.

Frankly, I’m completely surprised that Apple hasn’t embraced this
concept, since it would enable them to lower the amount of ROM memory on
the device, and allow people to expand according to their budget. Alas,
it would seem that Apple is destined not to ever get the message.

Hi Mary,

I would think if you could get a new iPad for $329 that would be a big deal.

These are not big deal upgrades. If they actually introduce a
substantial a new iPad Pro, I would suppose they would do so with a bit
more fanfare. But these upgrades are no big deal.

Apple Introduces Cheapest iPad Yet, Special Edition Red iPhone

More stories by Alex Webb
<https://www.bloomberg.com/authors/AQjTH3FjSCY/alex-webb>

Apple Inc. <https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/AAPL:US>introduced a
revamped version of its most popular-sized iPad at the cheapest
price yet, and a shiny red iPhone 7, whose sales will help to combat
AIDS.

Apple unveiled a new 9.7-inch iPad with a brighter Retina display
starting at $329, and a special edition red-aluminum finish iPhone 7
and iPhone 7 Plus, part of the company’s decade-long partnership
with (RED), which contributes to the Global Fund to fight HIV and AIDS.

“Since we began working with (RED) 10 years ago, our customers have
made a significant impact in fighting the spread of AIDS through the
purchase of our products, from the original iPod nano (PRODUCT)RED
Special Edition all the way to today’s lineup of Beats products and
accessories for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch,” Apple Chief Executive
Officer Tim Cook said in a statement
<wlmailhtml://news/terminal/ON6020MEQTXJ>Tuesday.

Apple is the world’s largest corporate donor to the Global Fund,
contributing more than $130 million, the company said.

Apple is expected to reveal a significant upgrade to the iPhone
later this year.
Cupertino, California-based Apple last year unveiled a new iPhone
which reignited sales growth in the Christmas quarter after a year
of declines. Those falling sales came even as Apple introduced a
cheaper handset in March in an effort to spur growth in emerging
markets. The only sales growth in the 2016 fiscal year came from the
services business, which includes Apple Music and the App Store, and
the other products category.

Apple shares rose less than one percent to $142.55 at 10:24 a.m. in
New York. Earlier they hit a new intraday high of $142.80.

The new iPad starts at $329 for 32GB with Wi-Fi and $459 for 32GB
Wi-Fi plus cellular. It will be available to order starting March 24
in the U.S. and more than 20 other countries and regions. The iPhone
(RED) models will be available in 128GB and 256GB models starting at
$749 from March 24. Apple also announced new storage capacity for
the iPhone SE. That 4-inch display model will now be available in
32GB and 128GB models, doubling the current capacity and replacing
the previous models.

Other product launches Tuesday include a new app called Clips

<http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2017/03/21Apple-Introduces-Clips-The-Fun-New-Way-to-Create-Expressive-Videos-on-iOS.html>,
that helps people combine video clips, photos and music that can be
shared through social media and messages. Apple also said its Swift
Playgrounds iPad app, which helps students learn to code, is
available in five additional languages: Japanese, French, German,
Spanish and simplified Chinese.
