128GB? Really?
I bought my OnePlus 8T 256GB 3 or 4 years ago! Who seriously sets a flagship phone in 2023 to go with 128GB? That's nonsense. Hard pass.
Can't sell Google Drive storage subscriptions if everyone has tons of storage on their device
They sell Pixel 8s with more storage space.
It's not nonsense, many people simply don't need that much storage on a phone. I'm currently at 53% of my 128gb, most of that is Spotify cache.
Why would I want to dump tons of data on my phone?
Because it's a 1000 flagship phone? If I have to pay crazy money, I want crazy specs, not last decade specs.
That, and not everybody wants to store their stuff on Google services so that they can sniff though all your stuff
Though you have an option to buy a version with more memory, don't you? IOW you have an option to go either way, what's wrong with that!
Whats wrong with it is that a flagship phone even offers specs that were available 5 years ago
