Only $50 for increased storage? Apple charge way more than that
I don't think there is any need to increase prices on 7S and 7S+.
I'll give you an example: 7+ 256GB costs $969, 64GB iPhone X costs $999. You're paying $30 more than the price of 7+ 256GB to get a phone with 1/4th of the storage of the 7+ 256GB. You'll have to pay $130 more to get the 256GB iPhone X to match the same storage as the 7+ 256GB.
The starting model in the X series has 1/4th the storage of the most expensive model in the 7+ series, and they cost more or less the same.
So anyone who needs to buy a X model with more storage is already paying a premium over the 7+.
The storage tier difference between the two phones is the same.
64 * 4 = 256 * 2 = 512
32 * 4 = 128 * 2 = 256
So there is no reason to have a reduced pricing the "jump" is the same.
Actually, it doesn't make sense why they are reducing the price of the 100 GB jump because they are introducing a 200 GB jump. People are currently paying $100 for a 100 GB jump, so logically, they can get away with charging $200 for a 200 GB charge (which they currently do, ie. 32 GB -> 256 GB = $200 difference).So ur saying they'd charge both $100 for a 100 and 200 gb jump? Makes no sense

I feel the "7S" models will have similar pricing to the iPhone 7, mainly because Apple Wants the pricing to remain traditional for this iPhone model, Which could include a slight price increase.
64 GB iPhone 7s USD 649
256 GB iPhone 7s USD 749
64 GB iPhone 7s+ USD 769
256 GB iPhone 7s+ USD 869
64 GB iPhone edition USD 999
256 GB iPhone edition USD 1099
I do NOT think there will be any 32 GB or 128 GB iPhones in 2017.
There is a slight possibility that there might be a 512 GB iPhone. However, it is unlikely that anything but the iPhone edition would get it.
Regardless, the price jump to a 512 GB iPhone from a 256 GB one will be exactly USD 200 for said model.
And I had already predicted almost all of this over 1-2 months ago.
Well it still makes 1 gb less than $1 at least.
