Hmmm... is that really true?

If you chose the "bigger" storage over the base "64GB" (if that was the
base, of course) then you "did" pay more money - a *lot* more money.

Remember, the strategy from Apple/Google is to remove functionality so that
you're forced to buy it back - in this case - from them - for a lot of $$$!

Arno said that's what he did & *many* people do that, but I can't conceive
of any good technical reason to have more than 64GB of internal storage.

Can you?
