Yes, and I'd prefer to not have to take it out all the time. Especially since taking out the SD card means also taking out the SIM card.

Is wireless connectivity a barrier there? My home WiFi goes about twice as fast as USB 2.0.

My photos (I use Ente, not Google or Apple) sync in the background on WiFi, primarily while I sleep. It’s my understanding that Immich works the same way.

For music syncing I’d probably set up Syncthing-Fork and then never manually transfer again.

When I transfer ROMs to my Android gaming handheld I just use my local NAS and connect with CX File Manager. My handheld has USB 3.0 but I don’t find that plugging in a cable is particularly convenient, especially since the NAS box is in my closet.

My iPhone 17 Pro Max has very fast USB-C but I’ve never used it for anything besides charging. I’m sure professional content creation folks know of a workflow where fast USB is helpful but for my smartphone user I can’t think of a reason to use it.
