Apple makes those ungodly profits off of its incredibly ignorant user base.

Apple has this gullible sheep-led-to-slaughter Alan Browne hoodwinked into
thinking that paying ten times more for ten times less... is... progress.

What I love is people like Alan Brown think that "better storage" can only
be bought on a subscription basis from Apple herself - it's how he thinks.

Meanwhile...

The rest of us simply purchase a ridiculously inexpensive portable memory
card that easily instantly doubles and triples the phones' initial storage.

And it's portable so it can be switched into a new phone such that your
data from your old phone is easily & instantly accessible to the new phone.

Oh... wait... Alan does that by paying thru the nose for an iCloud
subscription just so that he can move data from one phone to another.

Think about it. You can't make those ungodly profits off intelligent users.

As a former Android user I can tell you that the SD card storage has many issues. It's not an extension of the phone's memory. If you think a few $ a month is paying through the nose you are seriously income-deficient.
