In India, many smartphone users are accustomed to having expandable storage options through memory card slots. However, the iPhone 13 series continues Apple\“s tradition of not including a memory card slot. This design choice means that Indian consumers cannot expand the built-in storage of their iPhone 13 devices using external memory cards like microSD.
Local retailers and mobile shops in India often educate customers about this limitation. They explain that storage capacity must be chosen at the time of purchase since it cannot be upgraded later. This has led many Indian users to opt for higher storage variants or rely more heavily on cloud storage services available in the region.
Some third-party accessory manufacturers in the Indian market have attempted to create external storage solutions that connect through the lightning port, but these are not native memory card slots and come with their own limitations in terms of speed and convenience compared to traditional expandable storage. |
