This drives me crazy. An iPhone 15 pro max with 256gb of storage is 1199 and the 512gb is 1399.

So $200 for an extra 256gb. Meanwhile a fast, name brand, 1tb micro SD card is about $100.

That's the Apple business model.

That Android phones haven't hesitated to adopt... Sadly.

Well at least on android you have a choice (iirc Fariphone 5 has an SD-card slot)

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

True, and hopefully most brands adopt this way.

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Not all of them, but yes, sadly it has become a trend.

Run out of storage? We have a subscription for that!

Up-selling is the game. Especially if you have something to repair, they will happily quote you close to half of the price of new device so you go "ah, then I might as well buy a new one".
