I don't understand -- these are all literally tied directly to performance.
They're tiers of computing power and memory. More performance costs more money to produce. The "nano" can fit on a phone, while the others can't.
Are you really objecting to the existence of different price/performance tiers...? Do you object to McDonald's selling 3 sizes of soft drink? There's nothing "decoy" about any of this.
> Do you object to McDonald's selling 3 sizes of soft drink?
Yes, actually, for different reasons - McDonald’s charges only a tiny bit more for the largest size of drink than they do for the smallest (which is easy because soft drinks are a few cents’ worth of syrup and water, and the rest is profit). That pushes people toward huge drinks, which means more sugar, more caffeine, and more addiction.
But you're not objecting to selling 3 sizes. You're just objecting that the prices aren't far enough apart...
