    This is prime clickbait by hooking onto an outrage sentiment but it doesn’t really deliver. I thought this place was gonna be smarter than reddit, and it is, but not by much. Ugh. I guess I should have stopped assuming I could ever go back to August again.

      Besides using the term “shrinkflation” which is arguably a “clickbaity” term in this context, I don’t think the article is terrible. It’s a bit of a nothing article, as it’s something that’s been called out for a while, but a lot of new devices on the horizon are providing less (RAM/storage) for the same/higher price.

      Its not the most interesting article, but at least uses real examples demonstrating the effect, which is sadly better than most articles I’ve read on this topic.
