All of my stuff is in the cloud so I never need much storage on my device. Hopefully they keep the 128 and option.
Got a tip for us?

Oh it’ll happen. I just don’t know when. Pigs get fed, hogs get killed.
We are witnessing an unprecedented backlash against “capitalism” and “corporate greed”…
Apple think they are immune from that, but let’s see… I reckon they’re not.

I usually get at least a 256gb model if buying myself. But since I get it from my company they force us to get the lowest storage capacity (Even though we're allowed to get the Pro Max) it's a bummer they start at 128gb. Yeah it's an improvement from 64gb which is ridiculous, especially with some game apps taking well over 5gb. And that's not to even mention all the additional downloaded content after you download the app from the app store.
Never understand why anyone cares what the lowest storage option is. If it’s enough for you then great. If not get a higher storage option. Simple.
2tb for me please.

Yeah, I agree. Based on rumors of the new cameras, and ProRes/ProRAW, I can't imagine another 128GB iPhone Pro. That's too small.
I’m not defending apple, but maybe because the increase in storage doesn’t cost anywhere near the &100 they are talking about increasing?
Look, $1099 is NOT a big deal even with 128GB. If anyone is already on board with dropping $999 for a cellphone fully paid, it ain’t gonna matter when your only choice is “have new pro phone” or “not have new pro phone”. There’s no “get last year’s for $100 less”.
Also, when most people are going to finance it with a carrier, ain’t NOBODY care about the extra few bucks monthly. Heck, carriers basically hide the full retail price and only advertise the monthly cost.
Bring on the higher ASP, and get that stock up there!

Out of the picture on the 128GB model possibly, just like 128GB 13 Pro users didn't get to record ProRes in 4K.Remember people. This is coming from the same person who despite the iPhone 13 models starting at 128GB he said the iPhone 14 was going to start at 64GB ( yes he said that)
Analyst Jeff Pu: iPhone 14 Pro Models to Feature 48-Megapixel Camera and 8GB of RAM | MacTrast
Industry analyst Jeff Pu claims Apple will release four iPhone 14 models in September 2022.www.mactrast.com
my thoughts… if the 14 pro is going to support 8K video ( at possibly 60FPS) recording then it’s obvious 128GB is out of the picture. 🤔
Lol I don't think that's true for Apple. Look at some of the other responses on this thread. People are literally cheering Apple on to raise prices and make more profits.
With Apple I wouldn’t be surprised, but with 8K recoding being introduced this year, 128GB becomes even a bigger joke than last year. 256GB should be the minimum capacity. 128GB users can’t use ProRes.
Rumors, rumors, rumors… so tired of them by now. I’ll be happy to see what Apple releases next month and through the end of the year.
128 is very generous of Apple. I was expecting 16 + forced iCloud subscription.
Lmao! 128 GB is so cheap now, that’ll be where they make their largest profit margin. So glad I went ahead and got the alpine green 13PM earlier this spring after all.
Y’all can have that pill ish. I’ll just use this one till it’s EOL.

IMO, if you’re still buying 16 GB, then you’re very dedicated to locally backing up your phone to a computer.

You know it’s true. 🤣 don’t thumbs down me. Lol
nobody is going to NOT buy the iPhone Pro because it’s $1099. Just look at when the X came out and it started at $999: did that have any problems selling boatloads and showing up everywhere? No.
Of course articles and people are going to complain online, but it’s not going to affect sales one bit.
And Apple has ALWAYS skimped on storage: that is nothing new and is to be expected even with a price increase on the Pros.
The comment about stock is tongue in cheek, and always is the most helpful response to feel better about Apple’s ridiculously high pricing. I sure am not going to get a Pro new at $1099 because I don’t do carrier financing, and return policies always have a restock fee according to small print so I don’t want to deal with that. I prefer to buy straight from Apple for their 14 day no-questions return policy, and if I ever do get a Pro that isn’t used, I’ll probably go the refurbished route.

It’ll start at 128gb then magically turn into 256gb once the 15 comes along. They have to sell Tim’s storage subscriptions somehow & the Apple ad they recently released about the Apple One subscription is a huge hint. No hate towards Tim, he is smart, and we all know he’s behind this haha.
I find it funny how they always tout their camera improvements. But, with lossless music + 4K video + HDR, 128gb is laughable. It’s not a massive issue but the cost from 128gb > 256gb is insignificant, especially for a purported Pro device.

Apple is positioned as a premium brand, they don't care about the low-end customers.
Will not be surprising to see Apple keep 128GB as the base for the Pro model. Hopefully in the next 1 to 2 years, it will double.
