iPhone 8/Plus Why no 512GB iPhone 8+?

What I'm saying is that if a lot of customers want 128gb entry then why not just give that?

Because Apple #1 concern is to its shareholders. Not its customers.

128gb is not an entry level storage for any the major phone players, yet. One day, it will...but it won't be for a while.

So why would Apple set the early precedent and give the entry level model iPhone 128gb? Doing so would hurt sales for the higher 256gb and 512gb models.

I certainly don't need more than 128gb...you don't either and I bet many would fall in this category.

Hmmm but isn't it the customers who buy stuff then that helps the shareholders? What am I missing?

Most of the customers dont need 512gb now so just offer 256gb to maximum profit

I love local storage but even 512GB on a phone is pushing it.

I'd like 256GB, sure, but more than that? Even if I needed a new iPad today I'm not sure if I'd get 512GB over 256GB.

I can see if you shoot a lot of 4K video the 256GB will be the right choice. That's why I want the larger one.

Why no 1024?
