The media will say all this and point to this is cause, which is incorrect. We dont have any basis to say that absence of SD card and removable batter was the cause of it being a hit.
The S6 coudl just as equally been a sales hit with those features included. The S4 was a sales hit with them. And the S4 sold what: 3 or 4x as much as the S5 did?
I understand the lame-brain media is incapable of constructing basic logic and understanding causality, but it does not mean the entire world has to follow them down this path.
The S6 is a sales hit yes. But when you look at the improvements in styling and camera and battery life, one can very much see that it makes no sense to claim that sealing the device was the cause. it very well may have been a non factor. It could even in fact have been that upping the internal memory to 64/128 GB and improving the battery life created a product roughly equal to what anyone who wanted a open-back device would have wanted.
