Out of interest, why does it matter when you can simply put a 32 or 64 Gb USB in the socket? My media library is in iTunes and you can just drag tracks across from it to the USB stick. Solid state is quicker than HDD.

It is easy to knock Apple; I try not to get into fanboy status, but having had a Samsung Galaxy S3 for the past 1.5 yrs, I can't wait to go back to an iPhone. Sick and tired of it being so 'constipated' about doing anything. Switch it on in the morning and you can forget about doing anything on it until it completes its downloads. Screen rotates accidentally? Right, you can wait 20 secs while I decide to spin back! Finish a phone call? No, you have to wait for the screen to restart from black so you can press the end call button.

Yes, it's probably bloatware, yes I need to turn off some settings and yes it's 2 yrs old ....but come back iPhone all is forgiven! As they say, "It just works!"

Thanks @Rupert Holdsworth but hopefully get a new phone this week (company phone ) and am pressing for an IPhone. Having a mac it just makes sense...especially when handover on Yosemite and ios 8 starts working.

Just one more thought on the HDD; the industry accepted life of a HDD is 2years...although I can't imagine the drive in a car getting that much use...but if it DID go, then it won't be a cheap replacement. A USB stick is mere pounds.

My Mac is 2012. How do I find out if it is up to date? (Apologies for going off-topic).
