What do you mean couldn’t pay for more? There are plenty of sub-$200 android phones with 8GB of RAM, and 12-16GB are fairly standard on flagships these days. Asus ROG Phone 6 is rather old and already came with 16GB what, three years ago?

It is definitely doable, there only needs to be willingness. Apple is definitely skimping here.

The iPhone has one ram option. If you buy an iPhone 16 your only option is 8 gigs.

Ah I see. I understood you meant that bigger RAM modules aren’t available in the industry so apple couldn’t add this even if they paid more, not that we as customers couldn’t spec a phone however we’d like. That makes sense now.
