Apple has historically been so incredibly cheap with storage and memory.

The 1st generation 2012 Retina MacBook Pro started at 8GB RAM. 11 years later they still ship a $1600 USD MacBook Pro with 8GB.

From 2017-2019 the $1000 USD iPhone X to 11 Pro had a measly 64GB of storage.

Even more disgraceful was Apple selling a 21.5” iMac with a 5400RPM spinning hard disk drive… in early 2020.

The only thing that seems to get Apple to change their stubborn slow moving ways is a combo of bad media press, class-action lawsuits that worked with their butterfly keyboards and low sales.
