I agree, the new iPad should have a spinning platter hard drive.

If 15 years of technological progress can’t find it cost effective to fit more than 256gb of solid state storage in a $1000 device, then what are we even doing here?

A 1 TB consumer-oriented SSD is about $50 today. At Apple’s manufacturing scale, do you have any doubt that the cost to them is nearly negligible?
