    I’ve never understood why phones needed 16 god damn gigabytes of ram to begin with. Oh right, higher specs to justify the price increases

      They need higher specs because software devs are lazy about optimization because everything is so high spec they don’t care

      Well, now you’re going to get lower specs for higher prices.

        Oh no, I don’t mean to come off sounding like I will gladly be scammed by big tech. My comment was purely fixated on how huge RAM has become for phones.
