You don’t have to accept it, just buy something else. That’s the beauty of Android. I’m using an Xperia 1 IV and really like it. The Mark V is better with heat and a few other things but not enough to switch right away. 512 GB internal, SD card slot, headphone jack… basically everything phone buyers complain about getting removed are all available in one package.
Fine, I used a synonym instead of the exact word you used “tolerate”. The point is, the power to tolerate this or not is still in your/our hands. If we only talk and complain, but don’t actually reward with our business the companies who do what we say we want, then the future will absolutely be no on board storage, cloud connected, personal-data-harvesting everything.
So it kind of does have something to do with accepting (or not) these things.
Overall not too bad, but using the camera, and especially recording video, will cause it to overheat and ask you to take a break much quicker than it really should. Honestly that’s not a minor issue I guess when one of the main features forces you to stop using it after a relatively brief time. I think the 5 series is better at managing that though.
Extra 60$ and thats exactly the problem with discussing this as people defend it by straight up lying. It’s always a little bit like oh it’s just a few extra dollars or it’s like 5 when it’s 10 and it creates this delusion that just enforces this dark pattern.

It’s a dark pattern and a trend. It has nothing to do with “accepting it”

Nah I don’t see any reason to tolerate shitty, greedy practice. I’m calling them out not discussing about practical viability.
How’s the heat with your phone? Was looking at a 5 IV but the potential heating issues has me worried.
And apparently the 5 V isn’t coming to the US.

They could also spend an extra $50 for the 256GB one.

Also a viable option…
And what happens when that runs out?
