Expandable storage does not compromise waterresistance. If a phone with a Sim card slot can be IP68 rated, then a phone with a combo sim/SD card slot can as well.

Nice, noted! Then that’s not an issue. My only issue then would be the speed of the storage. Not a big issue on my iPad as I don’t use it for much, but running stuff and even going through pictures on my phone would be a nightmare (…which is my fault for having 15k pictures on it and not clearing it out i. Years…)

If you have problems with going through pictures, it's not the storage speed problem, that's for sure. Even the slowest sd card is fast enough to load a picture in human speeds

Also, why can professional cameras have expendable storage? Recording videos and burst mode for example needs fast storage.
