I would say it is more so they can advertise a lower price. But then expect you to get the more expensive ones as the bare minimum is just not enough.

For the base model yeah, but apple loves charging a packet for more memory so I don't see it for the top of the range models. Would be typical for them to only offer 16gb with the increased storage as well, just to bump the price up
