IHS: 64GB model iPhone only costs Apple $12 more than base 16GB model

article published on 28 March, 2016

According to market research firm IHS, it only costs Apple $12 more to build a 64GB model iPhone compared to a base 16GB model.

Why is this surprising? WE already know that storage is cheap. It's not like Apple is the only one doing it, look at all the SSD manufacturers.

That being said, I don't see why the 64GB is not the base model, or even better, have only one model with 256GB of storage and call it a day. But money rules everything nowadays. Companies want more money, and we can't blame them, we would do the same. We all want more money.

Duh! Anyone that doesn't proactively know this is a goof!

Example of another real-world price gauge, the MS Surface Book lineup! Surface Book Pro 256 is 500 less than the 512GB.

U tryin' to tell me it cost 500 extra to bump to the next available increase in storage? NO!

Companies that do this have no integrity. Apple is among the worst offenders.
