You raise an interesting question, Ray. How many of Apple’s purchasers are of the type to fiddle with hardware upgrading? Precious few these days I’d venture. I’m in the market for a new iMac but my hardware constraint is memory rather than storage. As the price of SSD falls away quite sharply built-in HDD is of less significance. For storage I rely almost exclusively these days on external HDD and ‘cloud’ services. In any event I spend more time using an iPad than my iMac.
