This drives me crazy. An iPhone 15 pro max with 256gb of storage is 1199 and the 512gb is 1399.
So $200 for an extra 256gb. Meanwhile a fast, name brand, 1tb micro SD card is about $100.
That’s the Apple business model.
Run out of storage? We have a subscription for that!
Up-selling is the game. Especially if you have something to repair, they will happily quote you close to half of the price of new device so you go “ah, then I might as well buy a new one”.
That Android phones haven’t hesitated to adopt… Sadly.
Well at least on android you have a choice (iirc Fariphone 5 has an SD-card slot)
True, and hopefully most brands adopt this way.
Not all of them, but yes, sadly it has become a trend.
