Every computer in Apple's current lineup would be massively improved by two USB-A ports, replaceable memory, and an SD card reader.

I appreciate the sentiment, but they have a long history of doing exactly this: removing extraneous or outdated ports/drives, getting slammed for it, and most people happily adapting to wireless alternatives. VGA? Ethernet? iPhone headphone jack? DVD? I don’t miss any of them.
