Why is it that a smartphone's storage space upgrade is a blackmail act?

Depending on the storage space, the same model of the smartphone in the price is also different. This seems to be a well-deserved consideration, given the cost. But have you ever thought that the difference is actually very unreasonable. I have been experiencing problems with the system upgrades to the iphone in the last few days. Upgrades require 1.4GB of free space, but the author's phone is only 492MB available, so I can only delete a lot of applications to free more space. The author used the iphone 5s 16GB purchased last September because at the time I didn't want to spend an extra 100 dollars (about 617 yuan) to buy 32GB models. Want to know what the cost of this 16GB extra storage space is? According to Michael Yang, a senior chief analyst at IHS, a market-research firm, it's only 8 dollars (about 49 yuan). This is the most heinous act of extortion in the scientific and technological community. Someone might say, "who asked you to buy an iphone?" But other brands are actually no better. The new 16GB version of the Galaxy S5 has only 10.7GB available space, while the iphone is 12.9GB. So you may need to remove some pre-installed junk software before you use it, which is not available on the iphone. However, the Galaxy mobile phone supports storage expansion through the microSD card, while a 32GB storage card only sells 20 dollars (about 123 yuan). Let's talk about extortion. Smartphones cost 50 cents per 1GB, Yang says. As a result, the cost of upgrading standard storage from 16GB to 32GB is only 16 dollars (about 100 yuan). Many flagship models have done so, so why not smartphones? Smartphone makers continue to do this because it is very lucrative, Yang told the authors, and from our dismantling we can see that the 32GB version of the profit margin is much higher than 16GB. Why do Apple, Samsung, and those carriers think it's reasonable to price 100 of dollars for only 8GB of storage space? 16GB is no longer the ideal benchmark for storage space, in part because smartphone functionality has increased dramatically. We will provide high-resolution cameras to take photos and videos, and download applications that can take up a lot of space--easy to spot with games that are more than 1GB long. According to the author's simple survey, Google play stores the top 15 of the free application of the average size of 31.6MB, and the Apple App Store is up to 65MB. From a consumer's point of view, as the camera pixel increases, we will create more content through the phone, and the entire multimedia library on the phone. Therefore, we need to increase storage space. But the rise of high-speed 4G networks and cloud services has somewhat eased the need for additional storage space, according to one operator. In other words, you don't need a bigAmount of space to stream media content from Pandora, Spotify, or Netflix. The speed of the network can be very different, the executive said, the content of streaming and reading the contents of the phone stored in the same convenience. While cloud services make additional storage space less necessary, the fact is that smartphones are still transitioning from content-digesting devices to content-creation devices, but the industry is not keeping up with the reality. For example, since the 2009 iphone 3GS, the iphone's standard storage space has been 16GB. The good news is that at least some vendors have received this information. HTC one M8, LG G3 and Amazon Fire Phone are all standard 32GB storage space. LG's flagship handset also supports microSD card expansion, allowing you to gain 128GB of extra storage space (114 USD, about 706 RMB). Amazon allows users to store unlimited images in the cloud. The baseline will be elevated, Yang said, and we expect the next wave of smartphones to go forward at least before the consumer's standard choice will be 32GB or jump directly to 64GB. The operator also agreed that the storage baseline for high-end smartphones would improve. In any case, assuming that smartphone storage is up to a level that still requires 100 dollars, the extra money you can get from 32GB upgrades to 64GB will be 84 dollars (about 518 yuan). I think it might be better than 16GB upgrades to 32GB (92 dollars, about 568 yuan).
