Will Iphone ever have external memory?

No

Now there's no external Memory support on iPhone. However, their next update will know that the external Memory can be used on any mobile phone. - Thank you

No. It's in the company's best interest to charge as much as they can get away with, this means leaving out external memory. Why should some other company get your money for extra storage?

Somewhere down the road.

They want to control everything

No

Not for program/app storage; that's why you can by iphones with massive internal storage - if it's got enough to start with, no extra is needed.

You can use SD cards or USB sticks for some things like photo transfer, you just need the "Camera kit" adapters.
That also allows USB audio devices to be connected, to work with Garageband or other music / audio apps.

They'd likely argue that it would ruin their designs - the iPhone has never had expandable memory, and without a removable battery to put it under, it'd need to be a slot in the side of the phone. My more cynical nature says it's likely a way to charge a lot more money for the higher-capacity models.

Nope.

& that's probably for the better. Unless Apple implemented it differently most Android phones limit you to what you can put on the SD card. For the most part its just media (pics, vids, music). At least with iPhones all the storage is available to put anything on it.

ICloud is external memory… Or storage.
Search "iPhone external memory"… There's lots of choices.
