The author forgets to mention iCloud, which is apple's answer to needing more storage. This incetivises them to keep storage low and advocate for everything in the cloud - their cloud.
Their phones aren't expandable, and to the best of my knowledge the only computer they offer now that can be user-upgraded is the mac pro - everything else requires configuration at purchase.
Battery life and storage are the two biggest problems I have with my iphone, and it looks like they made no effort to address this low-hanging fruit in their latest iteration. As if to say what it's at now is good enough - which it clearly is not. This is especially painful, because these are two areas that an android phone has more to offer.
I wouldn't call it a serious strategic mistake. I would call it disappointing and self serving; something apple has always been, but the shtick is getting old, especially considering their position in the industry.
