Its about what Apple stands for as a brand. They only push luxury, premium products. They never compromise. They avoid ever looking cheap, whether thats hardware, software, letting users make all their app icons pink and star shaped, whatever.
I guess I just don’t understand marketing/branding because to me you just accidentally called Apple products the dumbest waste of money you’ve ever seen.
Also removing the microSD slot from the flagship phones.
I used to laugh at how the Apple was the only manufacturer that forced you to pay $200 for every $15 worth of storage. Not much to laugh about anymore since Android flagships keep insisting on copying & pasting Apple’s militant anti-consumerism.
