Well the ps6 will be a ps5 pro pro.  It will have a more ram, better cpu and better gpu.  The ps5 was more powerful and more expensive than the ps4 pro...  why wouldn't the ps6 follow suit?

Because $1000 is too expensive for a mass market product.

iPhone sales beg to differ.

"As of early 2026, iPhone Pro and Pro Max models dominate Apple's sales, accounting for over 50% of new iPhone series purchases. With total annual iPhone shipments often exceeding 230 million units, this indicates well over 100 million Pro models are sold annually".

It's just a matter of priorities (and lack of cheaper alternatives of other platforms with similar performance).
