> Because 32 GB is overkill in 2016 for majority of their customers. "Upgrading" to 32 GB today prevents them from doing so in the future in another line-up refresh (when 32 GB might be more reasonable for the average Mac purchaser). So yeah, planned obsolescence. And this is a good thing how, exactly?

> So yeah, planned obsolescence. And this is a good thing how, exactly? I see no one here making the claim that it is good. However, planned obsolescence has been Apple's MO for as long as I can recall. They are a hardware company, after all, and selling you new hardware is exactly how they make revenue. Bottom line really is - if you want a developer-oriented laptop (with many high performance CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk and I/O Port options), Apple isn't really the place to get it. Apple is a consumer hardware company.
