There are a range of customers for whom the built in apps, plus a few big names like Facebook and Uber, and maybe google maps, are more than adequate.
Yes, 16GB isn't great for large music or photo collections, but those are solved problems. You can choose from a wide range of streaming options for music, and you can use iCloud Photos to offload your photo storage from the device.
- cordite 12y agoPerhaps what Someone1234 would like, is if the 32GB model became the baseline in both pricing and model--instead of the 16GB model. Though the latest update on iOS for 16 iPads was specifically to make updates in the future smaller. (I have one and that's what was described in part of the update)
- geoelectric 12y agoThe problem is that Apple's pricing is pretty static: "lowest end is this, next is that, next is that." Doesn't matter -what- the lowest end is, they seem to always set the price in the same place. Upshot is that dumping 16GB has a pretty high chance of effectively bringing the price of the entire line down a notch.
- gress 12y agoSo this whole line of argument simply boils down to wanting a 64GB iPhone to be $100 cheaper? (edit: downvote by all means, but I don't see any other logic at work here - anyone feel like explaining?)
- krschultz 12y agoWhile true, this is a pain point for Apple and app developers. The upgrade rate to iOS 8 is hurt by the large number of people that do not have enough disk space left available on their phone. In retrospect, 16GB is penny wise, pound foolish for Apple.
- mentos 12y agoI agree, I imagine Apple will be doubling their memory offers now.
- RexRollman 12y agoI don't know why you're being downvoted. Everything you said is true.
- to3m 12y agoI wonder who the downvotes are from?! Personally, I've got a 16GByte iPad. I find this plenty, and I appreciated the lower cost compared to the 32 or 64GByte version. People like me do exist! I use it all the time, but only for browsing the web and for Twitter, and sometimes I'll try the odd game that's getting good press. I don't use it for photos and I don't use it for music.
