Apple’s answer as always is a dongle. You can actually insert an SD card into an iPhone with the right series of adapters.

I think there’s a chance of it happening. Not that I need more than 128GB on an iPhone, but I think it would be a way to sweetening the price increase of the Pro models.
No notch, there's Dynamic Island. And 1tb storage didn't exist on the 12 Pro Max.
The 13 Pro Max didn’t need it, with a 12MP camera and 4K video the files aren’t that large, but mine has 1TB of storage. The 15 Pro Max with a 48MP camera and 8K video are going to need extra space, hopefully 2TB. People here have stated their 14 Pros are running out of room on a 1TB device. [🏃♂️]

I have 90GB left on my 13 Pro 256GB, IDK whether to get 512GB on the 15 Pro just to be safe.
I would get the 512GB to be on the safe side.
Great to hear that the base storage increases to 256 GB. Also good to have a higher storage option of 2 TB. Also hopefully the price increase is no more than $100

im sorry but uh what happened to 64 GB
like i use a 32 GB iphone ,-,
why does anyone need a 2 TB iphone. litterally buy a pc and a DLSR at that point, they both have the same size camera bump

I think as long as you’re not planning to create videos or do much photography that should be fine. If you have a lot of photos & videos, the iPhone 15 will likely take up 4 x the space you currently have for those. Of the 166GB you use, how much are photos & video?
Wow that wait between 2011 and 2014 to finally go from 64GB to 128GB was rough.
I took a pretty big trip in the 64GB era and in the process of preparing for that, I deleted practically every photo and video I had off my phone by that point.
Yes, after backing them up to my PC of course, but still, once they are deleted from your camera roll they cannot go back from whence they came.
As such my camera roll only starts in late 2012 despite the fact that I’ve been using an iPhone since launch day in June 2007.
That small amount of data from the first 5 years of iPhone could EASILY fit on my phone now and never would have had to go if the 128GB option came a couple of years sooner!
The ProRes limitation might "officially" be due to capacity, which is a small consideration, but practically speaking it's because the lowest storage models have lower write speed and there isn't enough headroom to guarantee it can keep up.
I think they left quite a while ago, not that anyone noticed 😆
And here lies the problem. One never gets "more' trade in value for higher storage devices from Apple or the other carriers in the USA. Yet one pays for it through the nose when buying it.
4GB was huge storage at this time though. Back in those days, most computer Hard disk drives were in Megabytes 😅
It’s insane how far we’ve come from there.
While I personally don’t need more than 256GB, it’s nice to hear that they’re adding the 2TB option for those who need it.
Hopefully that also means 256GB could soon be the base storage on all models and that it’ll possibly cost the same as the 128GB option right now.

My last several iPhones have been 256GB as I don't need more space than that but what I'm seeing from this news is that 256GB is gonna be the new base on the Pro models and while that might be a cheaper price to start off with compared to previous 256GB models, it also means more than likely that that storage will be slower than 512GB and up.
Now, these modern day iPhones are so fast that I might not even notice but just the fact that Apple will gimp the base model storage speeds like they do everything else will probably make me want to spend more money and get the next tier up even though I don't need that much space or necessarily want it but it'll always be in the back of my mind that I settled on the base version which will be slower than what I could have had if I didn't.
This is Apple's strategy.

This is true with Apple in the U.S. yet in other countries, including up north in Canada, Apple does vary trade in value by storage size. The price differences aren’t necessarily that significant, however.
Also, at least some U.S. carriers do offer differing trade-in values based on storage size.
