This is going to run against their push to sell people cloud storage. I wonder what they'll do to offset those losses. Also, Apple really needs to go back to the whole "one new iPhone model for all" approach. Sure, they always sold old models, but I feel like they've lost that cohesive vibe. I mean, when Jobs died, you had one iPhone and one iPad released at a time. Now? There's iPad pro, iPad pro large, iPad air, iPhone, iPhone large, iPhone small... there's just too much fat and it's watering down the brand and causing fatigue imo.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 7 Series Said to Have 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB Storage Options

Yeah, that's what we need, more models of iPhones to pick from. Let's have 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512. Here's a wild idea. If Apple isn't giving you EXACTLY what you want, go buy a phone from someone else.
What I suspect and fear is Apple might be going in the opposite direction of customer demand and desire. Instead of making the 32 GB cheaper or any of the models remain at the existing prices, they will raise them instead.
Honestly though, I have no plans or need for a new iPhone.

And if the 128 is the same price as the 64 was? Y'know, what they did when they removed the 32 GB option. How is giving you more storage for the same money a bad idea?

Likely they will be leaving them the same.
Wow, I didn't realize I made it so hard for Apple to give buyers some straight-forward choices.
Use Google Drive Photos. Unlimited with photos and 15GB of storage. Works just as seamless as iCloud does on the iPhone. It's what I use.
I honestly don't need to keep everything synced on my phone. I think that's just a mental defect of hoarding. I can't listen to my entire iTunes playlist on a flight going anywhere around the world. Considering, there are other things to take into account that's killing your time: Tweeting, watching your luggage, TSA, reaching your destination, what you are doing at your destination.
Also, how many photos are you going to take? I think there must be some harmony with what you are doing with the device. Yes, for me 64 GB is overkill, but at the same time too, I think 128 GB and 256 GB is just creating an illusion that you must have that. I honestly don't look at photos from 2007, 2008, 2010 too often that I must have instant access to it on the device.
3D picture and refocusing, 3D picture and refocusing, 3D picture and refocusing!
Go, go, go Apple!
But I'm almost sure they'll do something lame instead...
Are you saying that Apple's product line is causing you to become fatigued?

I'd love 256GB. Then I could carry my entire music collection (170GB) with room to spare.
Until they reveal the Pro iPhone for a specified price increase. That's what Apple has been doing recently with their product line is introduce a Pro version for more money just because it has "Pro" in the name. It's the same joke that Microsoft uses on it's customers.
While this is good news, I think Apple missed the boat on this and should have set a new standard. 32GB is acceptable but in this day and age 64GB should be the default low end. 256 GB for the hoarders. 2 models simplified that covers everyone adequately if the price is right.
I agree with gist of your comment but I don't want to have to manage content/data. I just want it all available in case I need something. So I'd love more storage so that I can sync everything and not worry about it. I know this is what the cloud is for, but I've had some bad experiences with cloud services (including iCloud), so I'd rather pay for more local storage and not be reliant upon the cloud.
I do not own a phone with 256BG, however my current iPhone is 128GB and I could use more space. So a 256GB option would suit my work / leisure balance requirements.
I have 13,000+ photos in my Photos library. Several thousand more that I haven't yet digitized or moved into Photos. I hate when a subject like the painted church in Praha, Texas comes up and I don't yet have the photos from that place that my father took in 1975 loaded into my library.
lol, so they are getting rid of 64gb? Why?!
It's not a deal breaker but 32,64,128 are good storage options, if anything keeping those and dropping the price slightly would win people over.
let's see if there is no massive price hike then there's nothing to really complain about.
let's hope the move from 32gb to 64gb when the times require it are not as painful long.

It's pretty sweet, but I have an iPhone 6+. Once I start taking 4K videos, I might start to sour on 128GB.
Let's just build top end cars so people don't need to think about it and lets charge everyone 100k for a car. Yeah, I don't agree with your opinion. I believe in developing products that address specific use cases. The days of one-size fits all are long gone, I hope. I invite you to join me in the present where personalized solutions make more sense.
if we get 128 gigs for the price of 64 gigs, that's nice, but I'd really rather do it the other way and get the current 64 gigs for $100 cheaper than now.
32 gigs used to be the sweet spot, then they took that away, pushing people to 64 gigs for the 32 gig price. Now 32 gigs is just a tiny bit tight, while 64 gigs is overkill for my uses, so now I'm going to have to go to 128 gigs.
Like I said, nice to get 128 gigs for the 64 gig price, but I'd rather get 64 gigs for $100 cheaper rather than losing that storage option altogether.

Just because it's Apple doesn't mean it is the best Applesauce out there. 5GB is just as paltry as the mentioned 16GB iPhone size. The good news is there are options there. .99 cents for 50GB a month is pretty cheap but I will always go the least expensive route and use the other free cloud storage markets available out there.
Obviously, Apple charges the lower amount, not the top amount, unless it wants to fully alienate its customer base. Sure, products that address specific use cases are good. However, storage isn't a use case, storage relates to proper function of the device, storage isn't really a "personalized solution". We disagree. That's fine.
