Right. Apple has been genius in milking more money out of customers. If you purchase a device with a memory quantity you want to change later, you have no choice but to buy a new device.

Google has an incentive to push people towards the cloud as they do better when more people are using it, but it's not Google's style to force people into a particular behavior like Apple does.
