Why absurd? Look on 512 GB version of iPhone.
For 1TB it should be OK.

Both are absurd.

I have to agree though, can't imagine the cost increase of larger NAND to be anywhere near the price hike, having seen a 2.5" QLC SSD dissected it's just one single NAND die inside, ranging from 1-4TB, with a controller and supportive hardware, more than 70% in area and something like 90% in volume is hollow. It's probably cheaper at this point to produce one 4TB die than four 1TB dice.

Hope this version is the real thing, it's certainly much better than Anandtech's leak.

...practically they are mainly earning money thru extra expensive memory chips and some minor improvements, innovations plus a bit faster CPUs. I am wondering how they alter their price policies with 5G arrival, the rumors are that local storage era is over with 5G. How they will synthetically increase the value of their devices then??
