128gb at $1000 is a joke. I’m more or less done with high end phones. I won’t use most of the high end features anyway. Bought a mid range Samsung last year with a micro SD card slot. Stuck a 512gb card in it. I am happy.

I pay little to no attention to iOS. Wasn’t aware you still couldn’t do this. I remember a time I had to jailbreak my old iPod Touch just to get a third party browser or third party app store.
