That why it should be base model so the price will be low.

How hard to understand?

Now you need to pay more if you want 256gb model because 64gb and 128gb model still exist.

And you need to pay even more for 512gb and 1tb model

It must be too hard for YOU to understand that 256 is too much for a base model, because that is going to be much more expensive than a base model of 64. If you could guarantee me the 256 would be the same price as the 64 now, sure, Ill go along with your plan, but you know that isnt how big business works.

Not if they all keep the prices the same and steadily raise them. No incentive to lower when people continue to pay the high prices.

Yeah, if you take a lot, but you should also have additional storage available and be clearing out photos somewhat regularly.

Right but if something has to have a specific use, it shouldnt be the base model. People that take a lot of photos/videos know they need the extra storage and should pay for what the need.

With that said, 64 if its saving a little bit is fine for basic users to get by but I do think 128 is fine for anyone that isnt (annoyingly) unwilling to use cloud storage or expandable in some way and 512-1TB should be enough for anyone. Not opposed to adding more for an upcharge, but dont put that pricing on the base buyers.

Value-wise it makes more sense to get the lowest cost for the device and use cloud storage as you need it for most media.

Ive felt that way for about a decade though. The people that vehemently defend needing their movie, music, and photo collections at all times available without internet on their device are a lost cause or the .01% with a good reason.

My iPhone is 128 GB. More than enough.

Whats more important to me is cloud storage because it makes the transition much easier when I buy a new phone.

iCloud gives 5GB for free. How the fuck do you sell 128GB phones but only allow you to transfer 5GB of it to a new phone.

256 GB costs approximately $20. It is a matter of market segmentation rather than cost.

Cost to who? The markup on manufacturing costs is always a lot, otherwise the base iPhone would be like $200 or less. So that $20 upcharge for a manufacturer is going to be $50 to retail and $100+ for the end user.

Yeah i can agree with this.

Id only go hard in on the "Dont you fucking go under 256gb" if there is no micro SD Slot

ATM, im using an s20 ultra. 128gb internal + 128gb card.

There is definitely an advantage to having it all internal though, some things cant be stored on the sd card...
