I've never seen the need for 128 gb. I have a 32 gb iPhone 5 and I still haven't used all the space, despite an hd movie, 400 songs, 1000+ pictures and a ton of apps. 128 seems like overkill, especially with iTunes in the cloud.
And yet, the iPod classic that was released 6 years ago has 160GB, and some people still wish Apple would give them the 250GB option back.When I say I use iTunes in the cloud, it means I delete apps when I don't need them, knowing they will be in the cloud for me to download at home when I want them. I don't need to keep all my movies on my phone because I can really only watch one on any given day, without getting distracted. I don't have iTunes Match, and I don't download over data.
Additionally, the size of games has increased drastically these last couple of years. Popular games such as FIFA, Puzzle Quest, Bastion, StarFront Collision, Infinity Blade, N.O.V.A. or Riven are all over 1GB. At this rate, 32GB of storage wouldn't hold very many games at all.
A lot of people don't want to be forced to delete apps and re-download them because their device doesn't have enough storage. Some Android phones have the option of additional SD card to increase storage, but it's very unlikely that Apple back track on their decision (I'm not a fan of SD cards either).
Apple has been pushing over-the-air everything since the release of iOS 5, and are making sure that users are able to use their iOS devices without ever connecting them to a computer. Your suggestion goes against that.
And then have to carry 2 different devices around? Do you remember Steve Jobs' keynote? "An iPod, a phone, an Internet mobile communicator; these are not three separate devices."For someone with 1000+ songs, they might need some more space, but at that point they really should look into an iPod classic, and keeping their songs on there, with their favorites also on their iPhone.
And I'm just saying that someone is gonna eat their words.I'm just saying that apple is not likely to release a 128gb iPhone. Maybe in ipad, maybe an iPod, but iPhones are expensive enough as is, and they will not want to produce a phone that is not going to sell many units.
