If it's not internal, why do you have to take the case apart and remove a number of internals to get at it?

you don't.

the buttons and switches are visible from the outside and can be operated without any disassembly, therefore they are not internal.

Certainly the switch lever projects beyond the case so that you can get at it to operate, but the switch is inside the csae and has an internal cover which has to be removed. It's very hard to regard that as an external switch.

So, using that definition, what *IS* an external switch to you? Got any good examples of a switch that has no components inside the device?

Not that it matters, the topic was that all smart phones today rarely suffer from data loss due to not having any moving parts. The ring/vibrate switch is a moving part, but has nothing to do with the data on the device, so whether or not you want to call that an internal or external switch really doesn't matter that much.
