I figured they were going to 'sell' us the higher price via higher starting point storage... We'll soon find out.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 15 Pro to Start at 128GB Storage With 8GB of RAM — TrendForce

I’ll take 128GB base for 8GB of RAM any day!
When I bought my iPhone X, I went for 256 GBs. Its been 7 years now and I have gone past 160 GBs. So, 128 GB would not be enough for me. My plan is to go to 512 GB when I upgrade to the 16 Ultra next year. My iPhone is storing all my files and media from across all my Macs.
I have 393 of 512 used up on my 14PM. I like to have my photos on the phone vs. iCloud. No 8K videos, just years of memories.
So having the smaller pro at 1000$ isnt getting the upgraded camera.
why is it even considered the pro then?
might as well just call the max something new then if they are separating both pro devices now.

This is apple we’re talking about. They start the computers at 256 and 8 which is farrrrr more of an issue than it is with a phone…
First of all the Max may not be a Pro at all this year, might be an Ultra. Secondly — it will still have a superior camera system when compared to the non-pro models. PRObably
Optical disks aren’t a reliable backup solution. They don’t last for many years.
Stored properly they do. I’ve pulled data off of 20 year old disks without problems.
Lol, sounds about Apple!
Apple will already have the number for this. They'd be looking at the number of 128GB iPhone Pro users vs. the average SSD capacity utilised.
I've not bothered about non-Apple for sometime now, didn't know the others removed SD slots.
Surprised.
ALL Pro models should be 256Gb base storage...

It is all relative. I have 32GB ipad and it is totally empty - i use 0 memory cause i stream. Then lets make 16gb ipads?
On my phone, the US map with hiking trails alone takes up to 10gb + my music gallery would be another 10gb + 10gb tv shows and some games. That is not talking about photo/videos. Also ssd memory drops in speed if used more than 50-75% - so if you have 128GB then you have real usable space of 64GB.
So the standard iPhone, pro and ultra.First of all the Max may not be a Pro at all this year, might be an Ultra. Secondly — it will still have a superior camera system when compared to the non-pro models. PRObably
so the pro is the middle model now and only normal sized pro just can’t get the good camera without the size difference. Seems like a bad move to me
Couldn't agree more, but then again it's Apple's naming convention nightmare... They put '3' in the name of the second model, for crying out loud — it was all consistently downhill from there. They did manage to level off, but now it can all go to s—t again with the addition of an 'Ultra'. Of course, it's not certain yet...
So there's not a more advanced camera, or SoC, or USB-C port, with Thunderbolt speeds on the Pro Max version? Nothing else has changed that -might- increase production costs?
Gotcha. 🤔
I'm a daily user of data storage, and I'm using just 88GB on my 256GB iPhone 13 Pro. So yes, 128GB would have served my needs perfectly. I'm not "anybody". I'm not you.
I'll gladly pay $100 more for a titanium frame, 2GB more ram, periscope lens and USB-C over a 14PM.
I have iPhones since iPhone 3G. During this time I have made more then 37 thousands photos and several thousand of videos. I'd like to keep them all with me on my phone, because there is not sufficient internet connection everywhere to download them from my iCloud storage.
The ONLY model which will see a price increase if the rumours are true ist the pro max, 3 out of 4 stay constant. At least in the US of A. However, if true I don’t expect increases here in Europe with the exemption of the pro max too - we got several increases in the last years.
At the same time you see 48 MP main camera for the normal phones, titanium and 8 Gb at the pro and other improvements.
That all why we are looking at inflation rates of about 10% since 2021 at least. I would say that especially for the US consumer the iPhones got actually more affordable in real prices.
What good is the same amount of ram as a mac on a phone?
