Ironic arbitrage, Apple sells it for X, pays google for Y.

The absolute state of things.



You aren't just buying dumb storage though. Its a whole service and tools to utilize the service.

What Apple and Google are selling are different products. A fruit salad is different to what the fruit store sells and receives a higher price.


What does Apple sell wrt data storage that Google doesn't? The integration into apple's product line? Seems a bit mealy mouthed to me. Both companies sell storage to consumers.


You also pay more for Google's consumer storage than for Google's "Cloud Storage".
