We've seen this rodeo before with the 16GB iPhone 6 and 6s.
Apple's decisions to be exceedingly stingy with storage will bite them in the long run as the security of their ecosystem comes into question due to devices that don't have enough storage to update.
The added costs of flash, for holding say 2GB in reserve for system updates, are miniscule.
- chrisandchris 6y agoYou mean it comes into the same question as various Android devices devices that have an outdated version installed on sale and will never receive any update? I don‘t think the broad audience will care that much... However, I agree that not being able to update because of disk space is more bothering to most people than not being able to update because, well, there are no updates [for this specific device].
- zibzab 6y agoYou do know that Android devices now receive regular security updates and system component updates beside OS version updates? That said, small storage used to cause all kind of problems in Androids too (in particular Sony Ericsson devices). IIRC it also caused some issues for Windows Phones updating from 7 to 7.1 to 8 and finally 10.
