I don't know who is simultaneously both rich enough and dumb enough to spend $200 per every 256GB of storage, but it's definitely not me.
I know it's just apple doing the exact same jaw-droppingly extreme price gouging on SSD pricing they've been doing forever... but this time it's just making me sick.

Most People I know use thunderbolt cases with standard NVME SSD with their macbooks , t is not a big deal. They however hate paying alot to upgrade the Memory.

did it achieve longer battery life with a larger battery or from greater efficiency?

Looks like they increased the battery size from 70 Wh to 72.4 on the 14 inch models. The 16 inch models still show the same battery capacity as the M3 MBPs.

For the 16 inch it looks like efficiency gains. The 14 inch is a bit more of a mixed bag given it gets the same extra 2 hours with a slightly bigger battery. This is assuming Apple's spec pages are accurate.

Pretty much anyone who buys a mobile phone as prices are typically $100/128GB as it's a standard gouging practice.
