That’s more a function of supply. 16gb M1 Air is almost special order. Mine from Apple had a couple month wait time. A lot of walk-in places only seem to sell

That’s more a function of supply. 16gb M1 Air is almost special order. Mine from Apple had a couple month wait time. A lot of walk-in places only seem to sell 8gb models with salespeople (falsely) claiming that 8gb is as good as 16 or 32gb on an x86 machine.
