Google offers 128GB of storage for the Pixel 9 Pro and XL, but that’s nowhere near enough for a flagship built to last seven years.

    Aren’t people mad because the prices are disconnected from reality? It looks like an extra $100 to jump 128 to 256? Meanwhile we can all see retail prices for 128 G microSD cards.

    Apple does this bullshit with their soldered RAM and everyone is rightfully enraged by that also.

      It’s the same when you buy a laptop, the upcharge on extra ram and storage is brutal. It’s worthwhile to buy a basic model and upgrade it.
