The only way to put a shame on Apple is the Laptop OEM manufacturers ship their entry level laptops and mini desktop computers equipped with Snapdragon Elite X chip with baseline 16GB of RAM, and $50 to upgrade to 32GB, 512GB of SSD, and adequate price to upgrade without robbing the customers. If they really want to retain and re-capture the market share from Dracula Tim Cook before bleeding out much like the Nokia, this is a step to take before even more people get hooked up on Apple ecosystem, because once they are into the ecosystem, it is hard to get out from data and services they signed into it. I am curious if a class-action suit can be brought against Apple in the memory and SSD pricing debacles.
