    Storage and RAM has always been cheaper for computers than phones because they don’t have the size constraints. Computers also use way more RAM and storage than phones.

      Sounds like those two components have overcome miniaturization constraints and can fit on single chips now.

        They haven’t. Apple just gouges the fuck outa that shit and charges $200 for 8GB more RAM and $400 for 1TB more storage.

        This is why the $80 Raspberry pi has as much RAM.

          Not that Apple’s pricing isn’t definitely over the top, but the RAM on a Raspberry Pi isn’t even in the same league as RAM in a MacBook Pro.

      Well yeah, but aren’t these prices the price for the whole system, not just the storage and ram?
