The 13-Inch MacBook Air

They shouldn't be offering 256GB on the base model given the price rise (arguably at all, even on the M1 MBA). Let alone making it slower by default.

They want you to buy more cloud services/storage.

But that’s not how iCloud storage works. Or any other consumer cloud storage. You have a copy in the cloud whether or not a copy is on the computer, and unlike commercial clouds do not pay for data transfer.

I'm not sure what's your point. Apple makes local storage as expensive as possible/acceptable so that you buy more icloud storage for your files, photos etc and "stream" your content from the cloud instead to keep it stored locally. It's not secret that they see the "services" as being the biggest growth factor.

That's not how the 'iPhone full' message describes it.
