Just as any other company is charging extra for extra features whether it's a phone, a car, a computer or a barbecue, typically bigger means more money and more features means more money and bigger with more features will always cost the most; This is not a concept invented by Apple.
From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: September 19, 2021 11:00 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Mark on iPhone 13 from an iPhone 8 Perspective IF one needs to keep a huge amount of pictures, music, books, movies, then memory is a higher priority. If one is focused on ease of picture taking, advances in object identification and location, then the camera features are a higher priority. The iPhone 13 with 512 GB is the same price as the 13 pro with 256 GB. So, pay a premium for extra memory, or pay a premium for extra features. Apple has you paying a premium for what you want any way you slice it.

There's a large jump in price between the standard and pro models. Unless you're really into photography, you're getting the bulk of what most blind people will really benefit from in the standard iPhone for substantially less money. This puts Lidar at a painful chicken and egg point. App developers need to find clever enough uses for Lidar to encourage enough sales on a smaller percentage of blind owners of pro models. I think Apple is going to have to bring Lidar to all iPhone models before things really get going.

I look forward to the extra storage. However, I also think the 13 will prove a better phone to make use of artificial intelligence related improvements. The 10R came out when that was just finding its stride. Better battery life and a three generation jump in the chip are also attractive. Camera improvements are also possibly quite helpful given that automatic stabilization is now on all phones rather than the pros. For blind people, this could be quite helpful if it really can keep things steadily in focus. Guess I'll find out. I'm hoping I won't have to upgrade again for a number of years.
