Because we have SD cards. Why pay $100 more for 16GB internal storage when you can pick up a 16GBmicro SD card for $10
the phones are made with 64 gig storage but we dont get them
i understand we can buy buy micro sd cards i have a 64 gig myself it still dose not explain why they dont sell them to us because we will buy them only reason i can think of is some kind of deal was made so we would go buy these micro sd cards but that just dont make sense to me
I'm sure that it's because the studies they've done show that the 64GB versions would not be popular enough to justify the cost of keeping an inventory of them. Space in the warehouses and store shelves means less of another product that they could sell. The difference with the iPhone is that there is no competition for that whereas for Samsung, you have HTC and other companies that compete for the space.
Correct. They're typically offered overseas, but in the US carriers don't carry them because there's not enough perceived demand
One reason why internal storage is premium is due to Apps downloaded.But why the reliance on internal?
^this...
since release I think I have sold maybe 2 64 gb iphone 5's
In the big picture most people don't need that much storage.
plus there is the whole cloud storage debate
Agree, charging over the odds prices should not happen, especially when they do not want us to use external memory.The 64GB is almost $300 more here in the UK compared to the 16GB model .. Whilst I would prefer more internal storage (don't even know why lol), I don't prefer it $300 worth
The thing is though not everyone will want to root their device. That and the fact the likes of Samsung do not like owners rooting their devices.Android users like to root and get apps to sd and all that. Big removable sd cards are there for us as a choice and the phone can be an inexpensive one or the latest and greatest.
With iPhone you just pay the big bucks for the internal storage or not. That's their market. It works for them, at least some of them for a while; we see many iPhone refugees here.
I agree, it is shocking the amount they ask but are not prepared to meet us half way.It's just an easy way for them to milk money from us, HTC and Samsung advertise 64GB versions but most countries only get the 16GB/32GB versions.
So, do I think 16GB is enough especially on what is deemed a Flagship phone.... Not a chance.
Yes, most people may not need it but read my comments above on App installation with additional Data to see small 16GB storage is not enough.
