Apple CEO Tim Cook will today unveil a series of reasons why your existing iPhone is now disappointingly obsolete and why you should immediately spend over £1,500 on the new iPhone 16 Pro.
Apple just can’t resist making ridiculous margins from their customers, even when their devices do allow for upgrades to the default configuration.
For instance, with a Mac Pro, you have to pay an extra $800 to go from 64gb to 128gb of memory. For $800, you could get about 384gb of ram in 64gb sticks from a different vendor.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion in these parts, but honestly, 8gb is often fine for the people who are buying entry level machines.
I use a 2014 Mac mini for work, which has 8gb of soldered RAM. For sure I’d increase it to 16gb if I could, but I honestly can’t say I have any issues with it. It’s running Sonoma via OCLP like a champ.
But yeah, what Apple charge for RAM is downright criminal.
It should be criminal that so many laptops they sold the past few years have 8gb of ram.
All of those people will be looking to upgrade within a year, which is the plan…

Dude, “640k is enough for anyone.”

What’s the different between you shilling ram today and them shilling upgrades tomorrow ?
Does someone tie your shoes for you or are they Velcro?
