Sounds like those two components have overcome miniaturization constraints and can fit on single chips now.

They haven't. Apple just gouges the fuck outa that shit and charges $200 for 8GB more RAM and $400 for 1TB more storage.

This is why the $80 Raspberry pi has as much RAM.

Not that Apple’s pricing isn’t definitely over the top, but the RAM on a Raspberry Pi isn’t even in the same league as RAM in a MacBook Pro.
