For regular people the 256GB starting SSD size is the biggest impendent. They won’t be running adobe Photoshop, final cut, containers, etc, but they will all have a set of pictures they import from device to device. Clearly they are pushing people to the cloud backup option which they will forget and keep on their card for years to come.
Just earlier in the year I had someone ask why videos took more storage than pictures when I recommended they delete videos they didn’t need/want to clear a lot of storage (mentioned videos are pictures stitched together to keep it simple, and live photos are a small burst of photos).
They had a bunch of unfocused fireworks/random events they will never watch again but are afraid to delete for each family/pet/friends video they would actually want forever.
Most people don’t have any gripes with using iCloud or other cloud storage systems though. It’s mostly “privacy focused” techies that care. So not the target market for this product at all
Maybe, and there is some benefit for adding an off site backup that would be beneficial, but the cost added up quickly. Each year they would have sent apple an extra $120 or so if they chose the wrong one because their plans conveniently jump from 200GB to 2TB.
