But surely we've reached the point that a 16 GB chip is more expensive than a 32 GB.
For flash drives there is almost zero cost difference between 16 and 32 GB.
Now that we can make bigger capacity chips, it is down to YIELD at the chip production level.
It costs the same to place either capacity chip.
That leaves board real estate and power consumption (bigger battery might be needed).
