this sounds too good to be true... and they better not skip the 256 capacity, as they like to dickfully do.
Got a tip for us?

Hopefully this stops certain apps like instagram refreshing as hate it when it does that
This makes sense, given how they recently announced how the price of storage has come down. I agree with others -- 128 gb is currently the sweet spot. 64 gb isn't of much use now. I'm hopeful that soon the Mac line will increase its base storage. 256 gb in the Mac Pro is laughable at that price point.
Still waiting for confirmation on whether the non-Pro models will feature the flat sides too. And I'd really like to know the exact dimensions of the 5.4" model.
If it is true then that is great news, however, I will wait until the official announcement before I can get excited. At the same time, I want to see how the 12 will be priced as well.
About time, this should have been base storage for at least the last 3-4 years.
The 11 Pro models at 64, 256 and 512 makes no sense. Logic would dictate it starts at 128.
The move was clearly a money grab knowing 128 is probably the ideal amount for the majority of users and starting at 64 would push those users to go for the 256 for the extra £150 here in the UK.
On a positive note if the iPhone 12 has everything the rumours and leaks says it will and starts at 128gb storage at current 64gb price points it will be worth the money.

Choices for the 12 pro. 128gb or 1TB. 😄
This is AWESOME
That $649 5.4” will almost certainly be mine
But good to know I don’t have to worry about storage bumps anymore

Sounds like a great lineup. Awesome how the base phone is dropping in price for the 2nd year in a row (2018 iPhone XR $749, 2019 iPhone 11 $699 and now potentially iPhone 12 $649).
By next spring it’ll probably look something like:
399 iPhone SE
499 iPhone SE Plus
599 iPhone 11
649 iPhone 12
749 iPhone 12 Max
999 iPhone 12 Pro
1099 iPhone 12 Pro Max

So the entry model is finally going to have the “sweet spot” for storage no longer forcing people to spend $100 more to get more than they need? Wow.
Looking forward to the iPhone 5.4”! It sounds very promising indeed.
I’d just be happy with an iCloud option to store data without syncing it! I’d pay more for that.
In the same boat. Hopefully I can save £150 this year by just buying the base storage model at 128.
I suspect a lot of people are the same, which is why I see the 64 to 256 strategy as a money grab because all the 128 people would pay the extra for the 256. That’s an extra £150 per person Apple are making.
If this is how the new iPhone that is coming out this year looks like, then i am all in ! This will sell out instantly,
Lads, are we still staying up till the wee hours of the morning to secure in a Pre Order for early launch day delivery ?
its been a few years ( Currently on a 7 Plus ) since ive done this. I live on the East Coast of the USA. I always had to make sure that my order was put in at the Ass Crack of Dawn.
Is this still a thing ? if Apple does release that phone then I am all in !
thanks in advance boys !

This guy just keeps making stuff up. There's no way any iPhone will come with 128GB storage as the lowest tier.
A very big part of 's profits ($Billions) come from up selling to higher storage at an exorbitant markup

Prosser has a very good track record when it comes to leaks. His sources seem to be really close to what's actually going on at Cupertino.
I wrote the same thing in Jan / March on Macrumors, so not really surprising. The whole point of $749 128GB iPhone 11 was to set up for this year's iPhone.
Seems like quite a year for upgrade. Qualcomm 5G, A14, FaceID 2.0,

I’m actually looking forward to the iPhone 12 kinda excited to be replacing my 6s. I just wish there wasn’t a notch or they kept Touch ID.
You have to realise it isn't "lowest" tier. You can think of Apple getting rid of the iPhone 11 64GB tier, which was $699, and instead force you to buy the 128GB at $749.

That will be 2021 March iPhone SE Plus or whatever it is.
Nobody is forcing anybody to buy anything. One will choose to buy the 128 at $749 rather than the 64 at $699. If you don't make that choice there are other iphones and/or androids models to choose from.
