Device storage is a premium commodity. It would be great to see cache clearing and perhaps setting size limits.

    Device storage is a premium commodity

    I was about to make fun of you for that, turns out I slipped into a different timeline or something. I was 100% certain Apple added a spot for microSD cards in iPhone SIM trays several years ago so they could sell special white ones and pretend shipping their phones with 32 GiB of device storage was helping to save the environment. Too many lead paint chips I guess. Device storage is NOT a premium commodity unless it’s enforced that way, you can get 1TB microSD cards for $95 now.

      No, it’s a premium commodity because of how much Apple marks up the storage cost. 128GB costs you $100, even though you can buy a 2TB SSD (or 6TB HDD) for under that.
