Still doesn't justify a model with double the base memory and storage costing over twice as much.

- mafro 2y agoIn this pricing model, the power users effectively subsidise the entry-level users. Not saying I agree with it, but Apple has been doing this successfully for many years.
- angoragoats 2y agoI’ve seen this argument before and I don’t get it. How is it that power users are subsidizing the entry-level users? The implication of this seems to be that the base models would otherwise be more expensive, which I’ve yet to see a shred of evidence for. It seems more likely that Apple is just straight up overcharging for upgrades, and people have to pay it because nothing is user-serviceable or user-repairable anymore.
