If they can't figure out cloud storage then they probably can't figure out card storage on their phone. I have never had a need for card storage on my phone. It simply is not an issue. Apple offers classes on how to get the most out of your phone. The information is out there. The issue is not the industry. People just need to take advantage of what is available and in the case of Apple products it is well advertised. What I find ironic is that iPhones, in general, seem to be the choice of the most technically savvy people I know but they are the easiest to use. Before I retired from a computer manufacturer, almost everyone I worked with in the company had an iPhone. Android phones simply did not have a footprint.

However, they do understand how to use a portable hard storage device, such as a thumb drive or an SD card. I think the computer industry needs to do a better job of educating users how to use cloud systems.
