iPhone 12 Lineup Said to Start With 128GB of Storage

[MacRumors]

Apple's rumored iPhone 12 lineup will start with 128GB of storage, according to Jon Prosser of the YouTube channel Front Page Tech. This would be twice as much base storage as the 64GB that Apple has offered for the last three years.

Prosser revealed this info in his latest video, claiming that 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch iPhone 12 models will be available with 128GB or 256GB of storage and that 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro models will have 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options. All four models are expected to feature OLED displays, 5G support, and a faster A14 chip.

Prosser also corroborated rumors that iPhone 12 Pro models will support ProMotion, unless Apple disables the feature in software due to battery life concerns.

Apple has gradually increased the base storage capacity of its newest iPhones over the years, going from 16GB to 32GB with the iPhone 7 lineup and from 32GB to 64GB with the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X.

Apple is expected to unveil its iPhone 12 lineup in September, although at least one model might not be available to order until October or November.

Update: An anonymous Twitter account with a thus-far proven track record has suggested that the two iPhone 12 models will start with 64GB of storage, with 128GB of base storage reserved for the higher-end iPhone 12 Pro models.

Finally!!!

and that will be the one i will get like i got on my iPad Pro....saves me £200 at least.

 

[newyorksole]

More storage means more content to download / more use and ultimately more money for Apple. This is a good move, if true.

 

[anthorumor]

It’s taken me this long (10 years), but the iPhone 12 (Pro?) might well and truly be my first foray into the world of iPhone.

 

[EugW]

If true, that’s perfect for me.

2020/2021 is gonna be expensive for me:

5G 128 GB iPhone 6.7”
5G 128 GB iPad Pro 11” (hopefully with mini-LED)

 

[recoil80]

I expect 128 at least for the pro model, the starting price is too high to have only 64GB.

It will be on all models.

 

[Nimrad]

Kinda funny, it's the same amount of storage as the previous generation MacBook Pro base model.

 

[viettanium]

the iCloud Storage option must be increase x2
$0.99 50GB >> 100GB
$2.99 200GB >> 400GB
$9.99 2TB >> 3TB

 

[magicschoolbus]

If it’s 5g I’ll be buying it for sure

 

[Scottsoapbox]

This seems unlikely in the non-pro models. How do you get people to step up from the base model?

Be honest, if your less tech friend asked if 64GB was enough vs 128GB? How many would answer differently?

Explain how you save at least £200.

The finally I’m waiting for is a cheaper 5.4” Pro iPhone, not a slightly improved €1,179 (£1,049) too-big-for-me iPhone. While I’m at it... what I’m really waiting for a ~5” Pro-specced iPhone.

 

[thislsmadness]

They finally dropped 64GB for the base iPad Pro this year, so its easy to believe they'll do the same with the iPhone.

 

[The Game 161]

Explain how you know save £200. That finally I’m waiting for is a cheaper 5.4” Pro iPhone, not a slightly improved €1,179 too big device.

Because 64GB wasn’t enough so had to buy the 256GB version which was £1,299. 128GB is enough for me. I have like 110GB spare on my iPad Pro with 128GB so that will be the sweet spot for me

 

[SactoGuy18]

I still wished the iPhone 12 had 6 GB RAM and the iPhone 12 Pro had 8 GB RAM.

 

[itsmilo]

the iCloud Storage option must be increase x2
$0.99 50GB >> 100GB
$2.99 200GB >> 400GB
$9.99 2TB >> 3TB

at least exclude the iCloud backup from the 5GB limit or extend that one. The amount of trouble shooting and wasted time I could have saved if people had proper back ups ...

 

[Smearbrick]

Every time I hear the term “pro” applied to a phone, I envision a call center full of people all talking on iPhones. That’s a “pro” phone. Otherwise, it’s just a phone with more features. Pro indeed.

 

[tann]

Finally, hopefully the jump from 128 to 256 is also cheaper than before. 256 to 512 will no doubt still be too high like the current iPad Pros.

 

[Expos of 1969]

Somebody in Cupertino finally realised that they had not turned the pages on the company calendar for five years.

 

[cwwilson]

The 12 is shaping up to be something special. I love my new 11 but I’m very excited to see the 12 in its final form!

£150 versus last year’s prices. £100 additional for 256GB this year.

 

[Mattlike]

128 GB was always perfect for me, and 64 was not enough so I had to go the 256 GB route. This is good news!

 

[The Game 161]

That will save you £120 over the prior situation

I’m talking compared to last year

It’s a £200 saving from the year before

Obviously the US price will basically be the same as the £ or slightly higher

 

[TechLord]

I feel like I'm going to regret buying an 11 at this rate.

£150. I made a typo.
