Now DOJ will sue Samsung too?

Well, if you don't play game and don't take lots of picture or video then 128GB storage is enough.
I am currently using iPhone 15 Pro with 128GB storage and still have more than 50% free space. If I am moving all pictures, then it should free up to 80%.
Question is how long Apple can charge storage and RAM price as much as 3-4 times higher than normal market price.

I don't think Apple will kill 128GB base line soon, so only choice is reducing price to upgrade but if that happen most people buy higher capacity.
If that so then why bother. Just kill base 128GB and move on to 256GB as new base.

According to wiki, iPhone storage upgrade from 32 to 64 at XR, and then 13 to 128 as base. So Around 4 years term Apple upgrade base storage.
So, I guess iPhone 17 or 18 will be 256 as base. At least Pro line up bump up first.

I think all car company should drop R&D for dash board design.
Specially infotainment console design is just outdated. They don't know how to make it better and sometimes make it worse.

Regular people do not load 40GB of RAW picture(s) image on their laptop or desktop.
Regular people do not compile application and test complex enterprise software.

Why the professional people complain about RAM size? Either your company willing to pay what they need or your own business can paid off higher RAM upgrade.
It is business expenses.

If regular people think they need more RAM then they still stuck on old windows experience.

Don't get me wrong.. I don't like the way Apple charge RAM and SSD upgrade price. It should drop 25-50% from current price.
On the other hand, I am Apple stockholder and with my dividend from Apple cover all my Apple products purchase.

Far as I can see Apple price upgrade structure made as if you need specific model to upgrade then you should consider bump up different model instead.

Like Mac mini upgrade max 32GB RAM with M2 Pro, 512GB SSD, 10G NIC ended up $1799.
However, Studio with M2 Max with same other spec ended up $200 more - $1999. 
If you want Mini with M2 Pro with 12 core than $300 more - $2099.

So Apple create price structure to bump up the model not individual options. They try to not make too many CTO model.
Order to doing so, upgrade option price hike.

The company only exist for one purpose. Make money. Any company does not make money will close down.
Recently WeWork going to bankruptcy process soon.
How many WeWork worker will be losing their job soon? So far Apple did not major layoffs even Google, Meta, Microsoft did recently.

look at the Samsung phone line up. They have cheap to middle and expensive phones, but margin does not catch up to Apple iPhone.
I am keep saying too many models line up will always less sales due to lots of consumer having decision anxiety.

That's why Apple only provide specific model nothing more. All those failed company had too many models. Such as Nokia. And even Microsoft did the same thing for mobile business. That's why they failed.

Also no one dare to increase their phone price over $1000 until Apple did. Why? Apple know some people willing to pay something new, shine product.
So far Apple delivered. That's why they are still top dog. 

Apple share their profit with shareholder. Which any public company should.
 If you complain about Apple's price, then either you should own Apple stock so you can get dividends to pay your Apple products or make more money.
Why are you buying thing that you cannot afford it?
