    The genius of Steve Jobs and his true legacy: converting a computer company into a regular, retail product company. In the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, people fiercely compared specs on computers while shopping.

    Now?

    Apple’s entry level DESKTOP machines come with 256GB of storage. Apple charges +$200 to go to a measly 512GB.

    To put that in perspective, 256GB is what comes in a PHONE these days. Or, consider that +$200 can buy you 10 times that amount of external storage, which Apple could quite easily fit in a desktop computer.

    But nobody cares. Well done, Stevo. Bravo.

    • The tiny phones are the same price as the desktop computers with similar specs. Couldn’t have predicted that 25 years ago when the iMac was coming out
