Mike Beasley On New iPod Touch Pricing
The first and most obvious point that comes to mind in this debate is that Apple has now admitted that there is no real need for the $100 gap other than to pad profits. There’s no technical reason that doubling the storage capacity of an iPhone should cost $100, and Apple, one could argue, is now willing to concede the issue.
This is definitely the most interesting implication of the ‘new’ iPods. I think it’s impossible to infer what the new iPhone pricing will be from this alone, but it does signal that something is changing with regard to internal iOS storage.
I think its almost certain that 32 GB becomes the default. That’s what I think they have to do, at least. Anything more is a nice bonus. If they still charge a $100 premium to get a 64 GB iPhone 6, I wouldn’t be upset (even though I know I’m getting ripped off). I care much more about iCloud storage pricing, than the costs of local storage.
