It could be ridiculous for you, and maybe for me too... But I know quite a lot of people, my wife included, that use a 16 Gb iPhone and have 4-5 Gb of available space.
It isn't about what can be done, but about what *should* be done (by Apple). It's about UX for the average user, not what some can get by with. If you *know* you're going to need more space, of course you'll just buy the 64GB, but a lot of people I've talked to have no clue how much space they need when they buy. And, they assume even a base Apple product should be fine, as it's more expensive than competition models. (Kind of like RAM, they expect Apple to take care of the typical user experience, rather than spec-comparing. That's how Apple taught everyone to shop! Now, they betray that for an up-sell.)
I think you are still using the same eyes you were using in 2010 ...
LOL! Good one! I lost it when I read that. Kind of the ultimate dorf-goes-spec-shopping thing, huh?
You're not serious, are you? "Only a fool"? :lol: There are a ton of people that have zero use for the extra space. This is the perfect fleet phone for companies that don't want to subsidize each phone for each employee. This is the perfect phone for people that use cloud technologies a lot.
And, they'd be *JUST FINE* with a 32GB phone as well. See above!
LOL. $400 is "cheap" to you? In a world of Android phones that allow you to expand the memory to 32 GB or more and still be under $100 total price, you have a pretty skewed perceptive.
You can buy a similar spec Android phone for $100? Aside from the problem of it running Android rather than iOS, if that's true, these manufacturers are totally losing their shirts! (My guess, you're talking about *SUBSIDIZED* prices! Just in case you don't know, that's not the same thing as an unlocked direct purchase.)
Fantastic pricing in the States! Pretty terrible for us Canadians though, we're not getting a fair exchange rate here at all. 64gb should be 650, not 710
Not really. As of about now, yes $499 USD = $653 CAD, but back in mid January, it would have been $727. Apple doesn't adjust prices daily. ***IF*** the Canadian dollar keeps going up and stabilizes, I'm sure Apple will bring down the price. This is a Canada problem though, not an Apple one.
there's people complaining about Ist gen on this very thread - and now you're complaining about 2nd gen being too fast?! Is anyone ever happy?
Yes, I'm well aware people were complaining. I was just pointing out that I've actually heard complaints about the latest ID sensor being so fast it's sometimes almost a bit off-putting in terms of UX because there's not enough time to notice it worked (I assume maybe for making purchases?... I wouldn't think unlock would ever be too quick).
My point was that if this is the case, I think I can get by just fine with the previous gen. I never heard friends with the first gen complain about the speed, though I guess we always like quicker in general.
People re still going on about how this is a renamed 5/5s... I don;t even know how to respond to this...
Trolls... IMO, don't I guess. I'll respond to mis-informed and such, but when it's so stupid that they are obviously just trolling, maybe best to ignore.
Find a dealer who ships to Canada and pay the US price.
Unless you're earning your income in USD, I'm not sure what that would accomplish (aside from ALL the duty and other fees piled on!). I think you're not understanding how international currency works.
