    Yeah man. Apple still screws people when it comes to ram and storage options of course, but the base products are actually pretty good for the money.

      Yep… It’s permanently where it’s at at purchase.

      Which is fine, I don’t store anything on there (Jenkins automations to build, local git repo on another machine, output goes to NAS), but it’s ridiculous how much the upgrades cost.

      If I didn’t need a build target for iOS I wouldn’t have bothered with it, that’s for sure.

        I might be biased running a NAS as well, but I’m not fussed about having a tonne of storage on-device. Yeah agreed it is bonkas how much they charge for that extra 8GB of RAM. Default should for sure be 16 by now.
