There may be a very clear explanation for this that I am missing but:
Why, after all the advances of technology in the last few years, are iPads/iPods/iPhones still coming out with 16 gb, 32 gb, 64 gb options that are $100 apart from each other*?
Shouldn't we be seeing much higher memory capacities at lower prices?
My main issue is probably the fact that, with memory being much cheaper than ever, we are still paying premium prices for bread crumbs.
The very fact that going from 16 to 32 gb (a jump of 16 gb for those counting) is the same price as going from 32 gb to 64 gb (which...*calculator*...is a 32 gb jump) suggests that the pricing is not based on anything but a marketing gimmick.
Don't get me wrong: Apple can do whatever it wants. I just feel like we are being suckered.
I don't know why that just hit me today but it makes me pretty unhappy with Apple.
EDIT: If anyone knows of articles where this subject has been raised (or elsewhere in the forums) I'd love to educate myself more--share the links please!
*I see they have a 128gb ipad--the principle still stands.
