how has microSD not died yet

[–] LorIps@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

No real alternatives in that form factor.

The form factor is kind of pointless though, I can think of maybe two devices I own where a full sized sd card wouldn't fit and be more convenient

Smartphones can't fit a regular sized SD slot, so microSD is the default (if a smartphone devices even supports memory cards).

I mean I think mine could, but even if it couldn't I would have no problem with it being the thickness of like a Palm m505 which easily fits a full sized card on a pocket sized device

I am just saying how things are. I am not particularly obsessed about thickness and I have a phone which supports microSD (which is not that common these days).
