Illogical storage capacity options?
It's time to change my Macbook and my phone.
I find I can get 2TB of storage on a new iPhone 17 Pro Max from Sky. Quite why anyone wouls need that mch storage on a phone is beyond my comprehension, but it's an option.
I find I can't get more than 512Mb on most Macbooks on offer. The maximum is 1TB, and that's not available on most models.
Forgive my old-fashioned thinking, but when I'm working with BIG FILES, the iPhone is not my first choice of tool. They live on my Macbook, and that's where I create them, edit them, and store them.
Where is the logic in Sky's - and even in Apple's - thinking here?
I cannot replace my current Macbook and transfer its 1.6TB of programs and data to a newer Macbook with only 512Gb of storage. Therefore I cannot select a Macbook from Sky. I would, if I could. And no, dangling an external USB drive off the new one won't help. Mac to Mac transfer requires the same disk configuration, a single disk setup can't be split between drives.
Does anyone else find this to be rather a stupid and unneccessary problem for Apple and Sky to create?

I doubt any thoughts Sky Mobile might have on the subject would even register with a global operation on the scale of Apple.
It could be that the more sensible options are by definition harder to keep in stock.
