the problem isn't whether 8 GB are enough for the average joe. the problem is Apple are charging 1599$ for an 8 GB laptop. even for that price, 16 GB are really pushing it — especially with only 512 GB of storage space.
so yes, the problem is Apple are being greedy.
The problem isn’t Apple being greedy, they are a profit making company…..that’s what they are supposed to do. the REAL problem is we the consumers rewarding their greed by continuously buying the products regardless of how they shaft us. That’s the real problem. Just because you can afford a premium device doesn’t mean you are not being shafted….it just means you can afford to be shafted!
If we all stopped buying Apple products for 3yrs….. oh they will make changes….they are a business after all.
This is why closed ecosystems can backfire greatly. There is no other MacOS device you can buy with reasonable built in storage.
