iPhone 14 Pro: Analyst Believes Storage Will Continue to Start at 128GB Despite Rumored Price Increase

[Funny Apple Man]

iPhone peaked at iPhone X, nothing since then.

Buy a used few year old iPhone, if you need a new one. All new iPhone releases are just money grabs.

iPhone mini series are great though.

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.

They're either Apple executives or shareholders. No sane consumer would cheer for a price increase and show any concern of the profit margins for a trillion dollar company.

Apple is positioned as a premium brand, they don't care about the low-end customers.

They care about revenue, wherever it comes from.

Who knows what Apple will do. However, I know I won’t be buying one new, or even at all. Many others will. To each his own.

Apple doesn’t care about revenue, they only care about profit.

By now it's a beloved apple-tradition that the entry-level configuration has quite little storage and RAM for the price and that they charge an arm and a leg for upgrades. Probably even a trademark. Or just upselling people to the mid-tier product but to have the ability to write "starting at JUST xxx-1".

Otoh, you have to buy an icloud-subscription anyway to get rid of that. "Not enough storage to backup"-nagging.

Exactly, they nickel-dime the low-end model. Their "high_end" model is quite expensive.

If they are raising prices because of supply and demand, why would they increase the base storage? Kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it?

Because they already make huge margins on storage so it would make it an easier pill for people to swallow and their average selling price would increase by probably $80-85.

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.

Apple just making pay extra to use a feature that you have on the device. 256GB really not enough for pro res.

I wish they gave an iPhone with no storage, or cameras or screen

It doesn’t matter apple knows folks gonna buy there products with a price increase or not . Folks have to have the latest And greatest 😎

Can't wait until it comes out that the base model is slower than the other models and all the 🐑 will defend apple even though they charge top dollar and label it "pro"

Rumors can’t be wrong if they predict both ways 🤣
