The latest updates from Apple have marked the end of an era for some of its device models. The company has discontinued the 64GB base storage option on most of its current iPhone and iPad lineup, with the exception of refurbished devices. This move is a significant change, as it affects consumers who previously opted for the lower storage capacity.The decision to remove 64GB as an option was likely driven by Apple's focus on performance and power. The company has been gradually increasing the minimum storage capacities on its devices over the years, starting with the iPad Pro models in 2017. This trend continues with the new iPhone 16e and iPad with A16 chip, both of which come with a minimum of 128GB of storage.The implications of this change are far-reaching, particularly for consumers who may have previously chosen devices based on their lower price point. However, it is likely that Apple's decision will ultimately lead to more powerful and capable devices, albeit at a potentially higher cost.
