256GB? My laptop has 8TB. Why is Apple so stingy?

  Because service profits makes up an outsized portion of Apple's yearly revenue, including subscriptions like iCloud+ storage plans.

  I'm using less than 100 GB of total storage on my phone. I'm not sure how your laptop is supposed to come into that but 256 GB is already plenty for the smallest possible option to select, doubly so since this is the budget variant. The bogus part with the storage here is instead on needing to pay $200 more just to get to 512 GB.

    My 256GB phone is already almost full because of all this app bloat. 6 different parking apps, 17 messaging apps because nobody uses the same thing, 13 different financial apps, EV charging apps, ... I have one messaging app eating 40GB On the other hand, a terabyte is cheap, they should just put a terabyte in the phone, it's what we apparently need in 2026
