Wait what? 64GB is a complete unusable ripoff, but 256GB is way too much, overkill. I swear every Apple person thinks their exact niche is what should be the standard for all. Its weird. Just like the tiny phone people spamming the whole internet that they need an iPhone Mini, and then nobody buys one. Really loud people making demands that their population can’t support on the manufacturing/pricing end.
Sounds like 64GB is a good entry point for people who don’t rely on local data. 256GB seems like the next logical step up, as someone who needs local data is quickly going to hit the ceiling on some weird half step like 128GB.
Its pretty standard in the industry. Many net devices use 64GB and budget laptops use 256GB. 128GB is this pointless no-mans land that helps neither the super budget user or the user that needs local data support. I am sure there are plenty of people in this weird niche where they have just enough data to pass 64GB, but have been sitting under 128GB for a couple years, that they can make some noise… but not enough people to actually be worth catering too. Still here they are making their demands. As if a company that tries to streamline and minimize their product line is going to just start pumping out every spec bracket just for their little circle… and then tick off the other weird cult that shouts “this isn’t the Apple way! We need to delete all the iPads and just release one iPad model, thats what Steve would have done!”
Love Apple. Many people do as evidenced by their rise to the top of the world. But the weird little vocal minority groups are always a little annoying. Heck in the last few years, Apple products have actually been useful an acceptable to the general public and that is probably the reason they are taking off so well, because the company isn’t listening to the conservative cult minority of voices.
