Apple has also dropped storage size upgrade prices significantly. For example, when the original iPhone launched in 2007 the storage size upgrade cost was $25 per GB. Today, it's around 97% less at only 78 cents per GB and that's even without adjusting for inflation.

Yeah, knowing Apple, 128GB will probably be the new baseline for that amount of time
When I upgraded from my XR to the 15 I have now, I almost was just going to stick with 128, but I ultimately sprang for 256 and it's been more than enough for me (and if I do need anything more than that somehow, I have terabytes of storage with iCloud+ and one of the Apple One bundles)
Yeah, give that another few years I'd say
Apple is just way too jet set on selling peeps on more iCloud storage
I was more hinting at the way they structure price points for their phones and other products.
This is good, because my 64 GB iPhone SE has only 9 GB left of storage space. When I have to install a big software update I have to temporarily remove some apps and files to make room for it. A couple years from now when it's time for me to get a new iPhone, a 128 GB one should be fine for me!
