A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Apple's strategy with it is actually evil though. Sell you low amounts of storage at high prices with little to no options to upgrade, then force you to pay for cloud storage when inevitably the budget iPhone 64gb isn't enough.
I'm assuming my area is somewhat similar to others in how technology is partly a fashion statement, but these are also people not rich enough to buy more than 128gb phones. I have a feeling that Apple knows this and does it by design to funnel people into their cloud storage.
The insane part is that they do it with all of their products and that people actually use it. In some cases it makes sense, but for the majority of people it's buying a subscription to use your phon- er, computers storage.
