I don't know how true your comment is about them earning money on each GB, but if you're interested in app size analysis on iOS I made this for that reason https://dotipa.app.

I occasionally post decompositions of public .ipa's on the App Store, and I'm looking forward to seeing how these change over the next year.

It seems straightforward to me: Apps take up storage, and the only way to get more of that is to pay Apple's markups, as iOS devices don't support upgradable storage.

On top of the already hefty markup, they don't even take storage capacity into consideration for trade-ins.

I am not aware of any phone allowing storage upgrades.

Probably most phones before the iPhone (and many afterwards) had SD cards support, you've really never came across that? I remember my Sony Ericsson around 2004 or something had support for it even.

That would be microSD cards, for which iPhones don't have slots.

microSD. Of course, never supported in any iPhone.
