Thank you for sharing this.
The low profits also explain why firmware updates and newer versions of Android are almost never provided. The manufacturer has to be very careful to balance their ongoing investments in a product with their reputation and ability to sell enough units to warrant the cost of such efforts.
But certainly the $12 difference between a 64GB and 128GB eMMC warrants a higher sale price/MSRP. For example, when I purchased my Google Nexus 5 in February of 2014, I remember I paid an extra $50 to get the 32GB instead of 16GB version. That said, at some point the price creeps high enough to lose some of those impulse sales. It’s all a big game!
