i still don't understand why apple doesn't support sd...

It's their way of making sure that users always buy their "latest" phones that support the new technology.

$200 = twice as expensive, at least, as an SSD....

i don't think anybody is touting sd as a replacement for ssd.
but it is a nifty removable storage option which can fit into a wide range of devices.

 

[Rudimental]

Just saying that it is expensive. I was just using SSD as a comparison for expensive storage medium. SSDs are already too expensive for most people, so I don't see much desire for this product, despite its mobile nature, until the price is substantially reduced, especially when the 16GB cards are about 1/7 of the price.

Rather wait for mass production, that should bring prices down considerably.
