I think you’re overstating the technical weight going into this decision. I think it’s almost all marketing.

Remember the 16gb iPhone? It really just existed to make the 32/64gb models look more reasonable and so Apple could say “From $lower_price_point”.

Confused by your reply. It is absolutely all marketing. Driven by data. They know their market, and the market for an 8GB M2 Air is not the HN crowd. Further, they know that the HN market exists, and will pay more for 16GB.
