But can it pull off the most impressive feat of all. Shipping with 16GB RAM standard.
I think they might try 3x 3GB or 3x 4GB first lol...
Don’t give them any ideas, they’d definitely do 9gb base next if they could
Be careful what you wish for because they’ll probably just charge the extra $200 while killing off the 8gb option, which won’t actually help anyone and just remove a cheaper option.
My parents are perfect examples of it. The only app they use is safari, and have like 5-10 tabs at most. And I imagine most users who are not here on reddit are like that. 8gb is just fine for them.
Yes, 8 GB is actually fine for casual users. However, 8 GB at $1600 is just price gouging.
I bet apple has statistics on how many users experience high memory pressure and what they are seeing is telling them 8gb is fine
