32gb > 64Gb no price increase
64 gb > 128GB no price increase
yet, somehow apple spun that increasing from 16gb > 32gb would have resulted in a price increase. why support this company? especially with the tax evasion when Tim Cook is all about 'social issues' which taxes from his company would help no doubt.
I think in this case, we need a formal apology from Tim Cook himself and to step down as ceo.
I'm not completely sure what you're trying to say. Are you saying that for years, Apple didn't increase the storage capacity because it would lower their margins? Because that is true. Higher capacity chips cost more. But over time, higher capacity chips come down in price. This has happened with computers since they were invented. My grandpa's old 386 machine was pretty advanced at the time but only had a couple hundred MB on the HDD and just a few MB of RAM. The first computer I built when I was a kid had an 80GB HDD and was pretty expensive. Prices come down over time, so every few generations Apple increases the storage. What likely has happened is that 32GB chips are close to the price of 16GB chips a few years ago. But it is true that Apple charges a big markup for going up in storage size. That became less the case a couple years ago when they changed to going from 16 to 64GB for $100 instead of 16 to 32GB. But they won't just increase the capacity before the larger chips fall in price because they want to keep the same high margins and produce good results for shareholders, etc, so that they can continue positive growth.
I'm intrigued by how much cloud storage people seem to want these days. Does everybody but me have super-fast broadband? Mine is about 32 Mb/sec download but only 1.37 Mb/sec upload – that's about 0.1725 MB/sec, meaning it would take about 1 hour 40 mins to upload each GB. I suppose you could do it at night. Otherwise it's going to slow all your other online activity.
I consider my internet to be just average and mine is 110Mbps down and 20Mbps up for $60/mo. But then again I have a lot of friends in Kansas City on Google fiber who are always bragging, and parts of my town are starting to get Gigabit from a competing company. At 20Mbps I can upload a gig in just under 7 minutes. It should be faster than that though, because when I run a speed test, it bursts up to around 35Mbps for like 15 seconds before settling down to 20Mbps. That's fast enough to upload a 12MP iPhone 6s JPG + Live Photo in roughly 1.5 seconds. My friends and family on Gigabit with an iPhone 6s, which according to Google's fiber page has WiFi that maxes out around 400Mbps, can upload a 1GB video in 20 seconds and a live photo in a tenth of a second. So yeah, I'd recommend looking into a better internet provider, if possible, before getting cloud storage.
