Jumping from 256 Gb ($1199) to 2 Tb ($1999) for an iPhone 17 Pro Max for a difference of $700 is just, just a bit of an abuse.

In EU is even worse, €1469 ($1723) to €2469 ($2897), a difference of $1174 (€1000). The base Pro model costs €1319; so a maxed-out Pro Max model is close the price of two base Pro models. So in the US one could buy a base Pro Max just with this difference.

As a former long time (2009-2019) Apple "fanboy" I bought all their propaganda. When I switched to Google, then Samsung in 2019 I started to realize the nonsense they were spewing. Features that Android had for years being touted as this great "Apple" feature, pushing the garbage (compared to USB-C) lightning cable, how bad Siri is compared to Google Assistant, etc. The new "Apple Designed" Vapor chamber, yes you took a long-standing Android (LG) technology and "Designed" it to work on an iPhone. Apple makes a great phone, but not the best, its the nonsense claims they make that will keep me from ever buying them again.

I think everyone sees it by now... that Tim Cook and Phil Spencer greatly have a lot in common. 😂
