    Exactly.

    I love that Apple is giving us CHOICE.  

    All the people who are crying about 16GB/32GB devices don't realize that if Apple started devices at 64GB they would have to raise prices.  It would be horrible for me and many other users who are fine with 16/32GB to be forced to pay more and buy a base model 64GB device.
    Yes. Those people are basically freeloading losers who expect other people to subsidize their purchases. Not me. I'm not going to contribute a dime to help out those people.

    Apple has actually improved on the storage issue, because it wasn't that long ago that it cost $100 to go from 16 to 32. Now, that same $100 will get somebody 64 on many devices.

    If we fast forward 25 years, I guarantee you that there will be people complaining about the Apple iPhone (Hologram Edition).

    Man, the entry level model only comes with one terrabyte of RAM! That sucks! Apple is so cheap! Everybody knows that a browser needs at least 2 terrabytes RAM to function smoothly. This thing is going to flop so badly! Apple is doomed! (again......)
    I agree about everything you said. Choice is good. One thing to consider is the cost of flash memory. Why is it unreasonable for Apple to start base storage at higher capacities but at the same price as the lower? Five years ago starting costs for 16 and 64 were disparate but now are nearly negligible. So even though many only need 16 the costs for more storage is low enough to keep the entry price the same and not make those who do need it to pay hundreds when it literally costs a few more dollars at the bulk rates Apple buys it at.
