New iPhones' storage upgrades generate a lot of revenue at a small production cost

24 September 2018
Also, charging $1,099 for a 64GB phone is outrageous.

      Tell us something we don't know. Is not like taking out the jack has not the same prpouse. To brin more and more money. Create a problem and then do a half backed solution, then sell it for more then any cable in the world. Are people even aware that this cables are made by the same comoanies? Only that apples cost 200 times more for no reason? And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

        When I got this S6 in 2015, 64GB was enough, now I wouldn't go lower than 128GB with up to 512GB SD card option.

        Apple is charging excessively for the increased internal storage option, but if most go for the base 64GB option, then they'll soon be paying for the iCloud instead.

          That's how they became the trillion-dollar company.

            A lot of people don't value money. Especially when buying addictive products...

                I mean, why are people surprised... it's like everything else with Apple, anywhere from a little USB dongle to a simple upgrade in storage, they add massive 200-300% margins on everything, because they know people are willing to pay to be able to show off their Apple stuff to others.

                        It is just a simple way to cash in quickly as article says. 64gb will run out of in no time for people who will take loads of pictures and 4k 60fps videos. Which is on a trend these days considering anybody can afford 4k tv these days. 64gb is definitely not a lot and Apple knows it. That's why they charge you a lot for increase like before, forcing you to ignore already low storage options like before 16gb or 32gb

                                  I dont care price. I buy every new iphone every year and buy other colors after 6 monghs so i use all of them. I just love to support the company even though i almost spend half of my income to their products including ipads every color option. I just love their products.
                                  Btw, my car costs less than my i9 Macbook Pro , means i am not rich.

And the Apple A11 Bionic never beat the Snapdragon 845, the prove is the exceptional performance achieved by the Pocophone F1 before the iPhone X, beating this phone in several tests in comparison.
