Why future mobiles won't have Micro-SD card slot

None of the Apple product have any kind of expansion slot for storage expansion. Then, came Google with its Nexus branding which too didn't offer expansion slots. HTC devices used to offer Micro-SD card slots in their handsets but looks like HTC too is getting tired of SD cards and is trying hard to get it off their devices. Neither HTC One X or the One X+ offer Micro-SD card expansion slot. It now looks like Micro-SD card slots are going to extinct in the near future. You can expect Samsung Galaxy S4 to come out in the market without any kind of expansion slot. Blackberry devices are also rumored to come without any kind of expansion slots of any kind. 

So, the biggest question is, Why have smartphone manufacturers decided to make devices without expansion slot of any kind. The answer is very simple. To make money. Some of you may be confused but yes, it's the money they are after. If you ask how, I have got a very simple explanation for you.

32GB Micro-SD card costs 20$.

16GB iPhone 5 costs 649$ ; 32GB iPhone 5 costs 749$

           Price difference: 100$ for just 16GB!!!

For instance, if iPhone 5 had expansion slot, people would buy 16GB model for 649$ and buy 32GB card for 20$ and get 48GB iPhone 5 for just 669$. See the difference in there. Apple started it and now everyone is following. If anyone is getting fooled, it's us. So, let us all protest against Micro-SD card removal from Smartphones and get what we pay for.
Don't be surprised if you see every company come up with smartphones with larger internal storage and no expansion slots. People will be at serious loss if this trend continues. Also, think about all the cards manufacturing companies.What will they do? Let us all wake up and realize the fact.
