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.
Doubtful, they probably only have it because they can share the cpu chip package with the next iPad pro if it doesn’t sell well or vice versa.
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
Thus revealing the ridiculous profit margin.
