uodate on the article seems to renege on base 5.1 iPhone Aluminium model still starting at 64GB. How does anyone use an iPhone with that limited storage?!
hopefully Apple TV will allow download and hold of ATV+ content to iOS/iPadOS and AppleTV unit devices!
Seriously? My iPhone is using 32 gigs with 1000 photos stored locally.
Personally I have no idea why anyone needs more unless they're recording 4k stuff.
Yea. It will be quite funny when his leakers get caught and he is out of juice. On one hand I commend him for using his knowledge to help grow his social presence. However, I just do not like people who act like him (aka. like the TechSmartt kind of people). Whereas people like MKBHD etc. are more professional.
All these renders with impossible-to-use-thin bezels... Idiotic designers.
multiple apps, games, pictures and video, notes and data within apps - both personal and professional (enterprise) gets me over 64GB. Maybe I should switch my photos to the new HEIC/HEIV (?) format.
at least we both have choices and living out Apple iOS products
5G on the 11 was never going to happen anyway. Because Apple already was using intels chips ( Intel never developed a 5G modem), before Apple bought that part of intels business/made truce with Qualcomm
I’m only using 40 gigs on my 11 Max Pro with 256Gb of storage, with the largest block going to Music (11 gigs), which actually surprised me. I do push everything to iCloud, so I’m not keeping much on the device locally. For most work related things (docs, spreadsheets, proposals), I keep them on my iPad Pro, so it’s clear now that I don’t need 256gb, maybe not even 128gb.
It is interesting how Apple making all your devices work together seamlessly, effectively minimizes the need for large storage on every device.
I had to get the 256GB iPad mini because it was 64 and they skipped the 128GB level. For the mini, 128 is definitely enough.
He says he has sources high up at Apple. I'm not sure why anyone would risk their job to provide leaked information on upcoming products. I don't see the benefit from their end.
With Apple, a very small possibility.

$100 less of course.
Since th
Either he pays them for the information, or this is done with the knowledge of Tim Apple. Companies like Apple like some leaks to help build a bit of momentum. I couldn't imagine a high up Apple employee just risking their career for no reason either.
I think the non-pro will look alot like xs just a bit smaller and bigger
and the pro would have the flat sides.
Kinda makes sense if you look at the ipad line.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the bump is for the pro models only, it could make people think that the extra £££ are more worth it over the non pro models. I’m sure Apple has done the calculations though and it will be interesting to see what happens. I use 88GB at the moment (with unused apps offloaded) so 128GB is the minimum I need, currently have a 256GB which of course on the X was a fair bit extra although I can’t recall how much. Seems a very long time since the limited range of options in the 3GS era
Yes they charge £150 here in the UK to go from a 64 to 256 knowing full well 128 was their most popular storage tier. It was a sly and deliberate move which they have been doing a lot of over all the product lines in recent years. This has changed my opinion of the company a lot.
However I do think 128 storage will be coming as the base model this year. It would make sense, the iPad Pro went from 64 to 128 base storage and prices remained the same. Hopefully the same happens with the new iPhone 12 and we get 128 storage at the current 64 price level.
Whilst its true Apple probably made some extra money off this sneaky move, I'm sure they lost money off people who would have gone for the 128GB instead but couldn't afford the 256 so just stuck to the 64GB. In my case, the deciding factor for me to go for the 11 over the 11 pro max, was the 128GB storage; I just couldn't justify in my head paying for 256GB, so they lost potential profit from me and I'm sure there are others who made a similar decision. It was about time they raised the baseline and I hope they don't pull anything like this again in the future.
