If only there was some kind of expandable storage slot that I could add a terabyte for like 50 bucks. One u just pop in and pop out that's like the size of a fingernail..Maybe we'll make some kind of technology like that one day. I'm sure the good folks at Apple aren't just scamming every fart smelling consumer by telling them the storage they pay extra for is reasonably priced.

I know you're being facetious but not gonna lie, the progression from a 5.25" 1.2MB floppy to a modern micro SD card with a practically infinitely bigger amount of storage is one of the things that blows my mind most about how much technology has evolved

And to think the physical bits on that floppy still would've been invisible to the naked human eye.

Well, they don't want to because fans will gladly pay 200$ or more for extra 128GB and call them revolutionary.
