You do know that 50 GB of iCloud is only $0.99/month, right?
I guess the only reason for more storage would be 4k, or music library, since no one is going to gonna store all their music in the could if they don't use Apple music, and even if they do, they'll need to constantly uploading to keep that one album when Apple removes it from AM anyway due to license issue.
Kinda makes the phone even *more* personal
That's why i favor this to buying in Australia. too expensive.

Your anti Apple jokes aren't funny or remotely accurate. They're just weird.

But thats due to currency isn't it - Apple don't control world currency.
Presumably you're using a high quality DAC with your iPhone then so you can actually make use of the lossless music...
Sure they don't. But they can't price the iPhone completely out of market.
Nickel and dime, Tim - do as much of it as possible to keep your stock units worthwhile before you get fired.
Time to look at Android; at least their manufacturers make no pretence about what they do.

You can't solely blame Apple for the price increases. Sometimes the currency rates effect it.
But they can decide that they shouldn't make a lower profit margin in Russia because the currency is poor. It's up to them to decide that they need the same percentage profit worldwide or they'd rather not make sales.
It would be equally unfair if you could get an iPhone for a lot cheaper in Russia than anywhere else.
Why do you care about their profit margin? Are you a shareholder? Same thing goes with CPU. Do you drop Apple when the benchmarks are low for CPU or when you notice the device is slow?
So due to the value of a currency dropping the price rose accordingly. Apple really isn't pushing up the base price, just compensating for crappy currencies.
If this is the way they go with storage and not raising the price, I might consider a 128gb when I upgrade in 2018. For the foreseeable future I am fine with my 64gb.
What would be a better solution for someone who travels. I personally think that cloud storage is the best solution to those who travel.
Even more important than raising base storage from 16gb to 32gb is a way to turn off those annoying "your icloud is almost full" messages. I finally caved and updated all the icloud accounts my family has just to make them go away. 5gb of base icloud storage is the real joke.
Russia has a much worse currency problem than UE, and it's a single country, not remotely as important as a market as the UE.
"But, but, but ... There's no reason to offer 32GB base storage, 16GB is plenty for most people ... The 16GB models are flying off the shelves ..."
