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?
If you really want an irelevant example of an external switch you should see https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31088803/DCBwithFOCS.jpg
Where is the external switch? All I see is a power grid relay station (presumably).
High-tension switches, out in the yard - external (very). I told you it was irrelevant.
So there will be no such examples? Is this because according to you, no household gadgets exists with external switches? They all have internal switches?SandmanEric Stevens
Since the topic was moving part in smart phones, I would have expected to see an example of an external switch on a comparable device. Or at least some form of consumer gadget.
Sorry to disapoint you. :-)
And I am disagreeing with you that the images there show any internal switches. But you are free to call them internal switches if it makes you feel good.Eric StevensSandmanSandmanEric Stevens
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.
It certainly doesn't matter from the point of view of data loss. I was addressing your statement that there were no internal switches.
You sure were, and given the link above, I feel you have failed to address it properly. You are free to call the switch an internal banana if you so desire, but I don't think you've made a case that supports your definition of external vs. internal, but perhaps that wasn't your intention either way.
I gave the original reference to the internal banana several articles upstream. e.g https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+4+Vibrate+Ring+Switch+Replacement/4334 or http://tinyurl.com/oofzazt
I find it extraordinary that people should regard a banana which is inside the case as being external simply because the end of the stalk is accessible from outside.That's a pretty good analogy, really. Only, you have it backwards. The banana is the fruit of the banan plant, and it is located easily-accessible on the "external" part of the plant. The plant, however, has a series of roots that extend to an "internal" part. No one calls those roots a "banana", just as no one is referring to the internal components of the ring/vibrate electronics the switch.
