Apple may charge $100 to go from 128gb to 256gb but it probably only costs them $5-6 more. If they want to raise the price, just eliminating the base storage tier is a good way to do that.

iPhone 14 Pro Predicted to Start With Increased 256GB Storage Alongside Rumored Price Increase

What a rollercoaster, first they say that the iPhone 14 lineup (specially the Pro's), will have a 10-15% price bump. Shortly after seeding caos on MR, they post another rumor mentioning that the storage will up to 256GB.
Damn, my heart can't take it anymore. LoL

I've never even thought about the frame of my phone cus its always been covered by a case.
Eh they did it when they went from 64-128 as the base on the pro models. Makes sense to include more storage as the base (because it cost apple pennies compared to what they charge) to bump up the storage.
I didn't say its for someone who has the 13. What I said was there is absolutely no reason for someone to buy the 14 at an inflated price when they can buy a 13, which is the same exact phone, at a discount when the 14 launches.
Slow down there, our heads are still spinning over iPhone Pro pricing 😂 Titanium iPhone would be insanely cool though, albeit expensive. But I’d probably get one if I’m honest!

Rocking an iPhone without a case feels so nice and premium.
256GB entry on an iPhone…
256GB entry on a Mac
Wow, where have we gone???
I mean, I have 512 in my 13PM, and I have 1TB in my iMac and will need 2 or 4 when I upgrade it in the next 12+ months, but…
I guess TikTok and that crap social media stuff just eats storage…

Essentially discontinuing the $999 128GB Pro model is a weird way to not exactly raise prices but still make everyone in the market for a 14 Pro spend at least $100 more.
Too bad for those who thought they'd get a $999 14 Pro. But then again, that's probably not a lot of people, not in this economy?

They want you to buy their iCloud storage expansion but what’s funny is that the cap is still 2tb and I might need to stack up to 4tb now lolol
I go back and forth between no case on my 13 Pro and the clear plastic MagSafe Apple case. 🤌🤌
I can’t imagine the 128GB 13 Pro was a big seller anyway. It was well known that you couldn’t even shoot ProRes in 4K with that configuration and 128GB these days is just not enough, not with the cameras.Essentially discontinuing the $999 128GB Pro model is a weird way to not exactly raise prices but still make everyone in the market for a 14 Pro spend at least $100 more.

Lol, I have iPhone 13 PM with 128gb of storage, and I have 100gb free. I will never find a way to fill all that space.
8K will require 256GB. Full 4K ProRes required 256GB last year too I believe. This would make the starting price more understandable too.
Not everyone needs a MacBook Pro. Not everyone needs an iPhone Pro. The baseline iPhone is great enough for 90% of people.

If true, then they're not raising the price of the 256gb model, they're just dropping the option of buying the 128gb model. For me, that's fine, I always get 256gb.
For folks that would buy the phone with 128gb, that's gotta be a huge disappointment. Pro users who have unlimited high-speed 5g data plans have less need for a ton of on-device storage, so the 128gb model for $100 less than 256gb would be a nice option.

If the rumors of a larger sensor and better image detail are true, that alone is a great reason to get a 14 for lotsa folks, even those with a 13.
Makes sense that the pro wouldn't have 128GB considering you need at least 256GB to use Pro Res.
I don't get it? A welcome price increase? Is that what you are saying? Or is there something I'm missing, like larger storage option?
Make that a 35% price increase for Euro € due to Putin’s war and a 45% price increase for Pound £ thanks to Boris’ Brexit, alongside an overall reduced PPP due to high inflation.
At what price point will Apple 🍎 or their customers surrender or still give in?
