Can I use a micro SD card with my iPhone?

What good is wireless storage if you're not in a signal area? Why don't they just put a plain old USB port on iPhones? Something that can actually read a card or connect to a real camera. This limitation keeps the iPhone in the 'toy' rather than 'tool' category of electronics.

Indeed.

The iPhone 5c like all other iPhones cannot be opened by the user, much less disassembled to look behind the battery.

But if you did open it up, you'd find absolutely nothing behind the battery:

Like all iPhones it has a solid state storage device which is not removable, is located on the right side of the iPhone not behind the battery, and is not an SD card.

There is no SD card slot there.

Apple does not and has never made iPhone's with SD card slots.

So like you say, research before posting misleading information.

I just saw earlier on an app called Touch Of Modern that was advertising a "battery+micro SD case". Seems like a good idea I'm just wondering, does iOS have the parameters to read that card as part of the internal memory or would you have to use a file explorer app

That sounds like an excellent question to ask the developers of that product.

The SD card slot on a iPhone 5C is located internally, some what behind the battery. IDK where you heard differntly this info is readily available on online videos. It can be upgraded to 16-512 my The topic of SD card storage has no relevance to what was asked. Please reasearch befor posting misleading answers to other users

There's no way to increase storage on the iPhone.

No.

No. You must have noticed the iPhone does not have a card slot.

There are wireless options for extra storage, if you are willing to pay for some more hardware.

Google "Wi-Drive" and "Airstash".

You can if you get this App & their product:

You don't need to be in a "signal area". The devices I mentioned create their own wireless signal. Why don't you try reading about it then commenting?

There sure are many businesses very large, small, and in between using this "toy".

Name the current smart phones with a plain old USB port - just one.

Motorola at least uses SD cards. Unless you think a smartphone is a good camera, you kind of need a way to read SD cards, as the original post asked. Toys.

I would go directly to your carriers store to ask them because it would probally hurt your your phones warrenty I have tried it before with my iphone 3G AT&T told me not to so I would go directly to your carrier and ask them.

What good is posting in an 8 month old thread?

In any case:

There is the Camera Connection Kit which can plug into the iPhone, and has a slot for SD cards specifically.

Of course the Reader will only work for Photos, and Videos in a very specific format.

There are of course other alternatives as already mentioned, suich as Wifi enabled drives, and even wifi enabled SD cards that work with a companion App.
