That explains the lack of a 128GB option… not at all.

I've always felt it's just clever marketing, feast or famine. Remove the Goldilocks/mid-grade option and let the customer regret not spending enough.

It's more asshole design than clever.

If they had a 128GB option you could say the same thing about the lack of a 96GB option. There are hundreds of billions of potential storage sizes in this range. Apple has to be practical and choose some very small selection of storage options.

No. Apple offers storage upgrade in 2x increments so 96GB would make no sense, and they do offer 128GB on several models.

Except they previously offered 128 GB phones (and still do).
