I hope not true. I was leaning towards a iPhone 13 mini this go around, but 128GB is not enough for me. I'd be fine with 256GB.
Got a tip for us?

Ahh, that would be a good usecase.
I also have a massive library (35K photos and videos) but I use optimize storage on my phone, because I keep full versions on my Mac instead. The Mac is also easier for backing up and managing that quantity of data.
It says they’re MacRumors renders, so that’s probably not what they’re actually supposed to be.
Grrr… I’ve been eyeing that 13 mini, but really don’t want the reduced storage.
I think Apple mistakenly believes the mini is a lower cost option, but I don’t mind paying the same price for the smaller form factor.

I’m disappointed but not that conspiratorial about it. Apple wouldn't make a crappy phone just to justify not having to make a crappy phone. There’s only so much space inside it, and if they used more for memory people would be complaining about the battery. I’d love a 3-lens camera system too. I just really like the small size, but storage volume is one spec on which I can’t compromise that much. Ah well.
My iTunes library is half a TB. Moving music in and out of phone is not fun, and I can’t really predict what I want to listen to in the next moment.
Having those photo offset from local storage seems good on paper, until I need to show a photo to someone else and it is being downloaded but signal is bad so it takes forever.
Most US users maybe, but that’s still a stretch. Outside of US, unlimited data plan is still the minority. It is not fun to have hundreds of GB being wasted at downloading random image, downloading podcasts, watching movies etc. Also I just can’t trust cloud storage to secure my personal files. Syncing is ok. Completely off the local storage? No.
No 256 GB to non-pro would be a shame honestly....
Apple trying to upsell even more ppl towards pro models...

Well since all of this is based on e-commerce sites in the Ukraine, and one of them shows a 512 gb option for the 13 mini, I’ll hope for the best here. We will know in a few days. I’m pleasantly surprised purple will still be an option…allegedly.
no doubt, with nand price being 10 dollars per 128gb, apple charging 100 bucks for the upgrade is a pure profit move, but we all know that 😂
I’ve never understood why people care what the bottom end of the line offers. I really want 512GB or more in my device, but I don’t care if they also sell a 64GB device or even a storage free version.
I don’t understand why people fixate on trying to eliminate configurations they wouldn’t buy anyway…. It makes much more sense to me to focus on what you need than on what you don’t.
Color matters if you use a clear case like I do. You also see the color around the camera lenses so certain cases can clash with it.
I checked my storage and my minimum storage has become 256GB as 128GB means I can’t even restore from my backup.
actually jobs was notorious for keeping charity a very private matter. which is a good thing.
Last year I was overjoyed that they started selling a nearly small phone again.
Now I'm satisfied, this year I can once again be indignant that Apple may not be catering for my exact desires for a 256GB iPhone mini.
Cosmic balance has once again been restored.

The renders are hideous - I'm sure whatever Apple actually releases will be much nicer.
I seriously doubt this rumor. I cannot think of a single time Apple has eliminated a higher tier storage option from one year to the next, unless it was to replace it with an even larger storage option.
Ahhh the “ I speak for everyone “ comment
if you don’t need it then it’s fine but don’t sound like others are lying
also this isn’t 2009 any more. Many average users take more photos and videos and even do editing now also do lots of work on the phones you sound like those ppl who still think we are in the past
Yes they can use iCloud. They can use NAS and stuff but hey it’s not too “crazy” to demand higher storage given the price of them and the price of the phone
From my view: There are not enough bigger storage size options for the nonpros given today's camera needs.
On a positive note: Without the pre installed search database more usable storage will be left for me.
Or should they intend to keep us in need of iCloud by intentionally sizing the storage too small?

Pretty sure bronze is gonna look a tad better and more classy than the green turd render in the mock-up ……
I think they do need to look at the iCloud storage options as well. I am on a family plan with four people, and the 2TB option will need to be evaluated in the next few years.
