My wife currently has an android phone with those two.

I just picked up the new iphone se for her and explained twice “there is no headphone jack”.

She replied: “Cool, so I can keep my headphones plugged in to the laptop and use the other headphones for the phone. In worse case, I have bt headphones”.

With the SD card... I mean, it seems not possible to configure any app to store data on it. She has signal, whatsapp, broswer, spotify and a few photos and the phone is constantly complaining that it is low on storage.

Androind is working well for my mother though. She is 70+. She doesn’t use any apps, simple text messages, phone calls and that’s it. She just has to buy a new battery like every 6 months...

I use the sd card for media storage. Music and podcasts. Significantly reduces monthly data usage.

My car has an aux port. It has terrible Bluetooth that cuts out every couple minutes. I also use the same headphones at my home plugged into my phone and my desktop. This could by avoided with a dongle or two (or three), but honestly, I hate dongles, so I have thus far been able to buy phones that haven't made the decision to remove a (very useful) port.
