Chips for smartphones

My wife got a standard 16 gigabyte smartphone and then a guy at Verizon told her to get an expansion chip at Best Buy. However, my question to her is her phone plug and play? In other words does it automatically recognize that a chip has been put in it's slot. Also, I told her I didn't know how to install a chip on that particular phone and it might be better to have someone do it who knew that particular smartphone. Then when we got there I asked for photos is it better to get a 16 gigabyte upgrade or a 32 gigabyte upgrade? The lady recommended a 32 gigabyte upgrade for photos. I asked how to you download photos to your computer?

She said there is a plug in device that your chip plugs into that looks like a regular camera chip flash drive for downloading photos into your computer or on disks or whatever you want to do with them.

Also, she said by doing this we have the resident 16 Gigabyte chip and then we are upgrading 32 gigabytes more for a total of 48 gigabytes. So, then you keep the sheathe available somewhere to pull out your chip to put into the sheathe to put into your laptop or desktop to download your pictures from your smartphone.

If you have an IPHONE you usually do this differently by your charge cord through your USB into your laptop or desktop computer.

By the way What happened to that Great program IPHOTO on newer Apple computers?
