My 4-5 year old OnePlus 8T phone has 256GB storage.... Are you fucking kidding me, Apple? Can you at least try?
OnePlus had 128gb as their base config until the 12 was released a few months ago. The specs for the OP 7 through 11 all had a base 128gb config.
A lot of phone manufacturers still have 128 as the base config (like Google). That said, they don’t charge $1000 for that base config. They’re usually $150 to $200 cheaper.
Yeah, but if this is apple, and today, then well... It's actually on par for apple, pay twice the amount of money for twice lower specs, lower quality, harder (near impossible) to repair, it just looks nice and shiny, is all.
That said, my main point was that their storage configs are pretty inline with the rest of the industry. Hardware prices are inflated, but that's been true for Apple since the 80's.
