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

I'm holding off on making the decision until Apple's official announcement. Mostly it's hinging on the capabilities of the dual-lens camera, though other new or improved features may factor in.
Their sales figures and brand ranking says otherwise.
I'm not sure about the rest. But my phone has became a time capsule. It contains all the photos since day *who knows*: trip, family, friends, fun, etc. I enjoy scrolling back ~ a timeline of my past.
It might sounds strange. One of my reason to get a bigger storage every time i upgrade my phone – simply to keep my photos within the phone's storage. Before anyone starts bashing. Yes, I do have backup. However, how many of us actually look at the photo which you exported out? Just my preference, totally absurd, I know.
Definitely welcome the bigger storage space.

I think that is more the norm than you realize. Some people on purpose, most because they never backup or sync. I have hundreds of pics on my phone myself, on purpose. I think of it as yet another backup of pics I would be crushed if I ever lost. Never hurts to have multiple backups at multiple sites. Also it's a great conversation starter to have old pics to whip out when talking about travel or family or whatever. That said I'm forcing myself to stay at 128GB. There comes a time it gets unmanageable.
Indeed we disagree. But at least you don't consider this a Human Right so it's okay.
So anyone who prefers having a nice selection of music, movies etc. on their phone has a mental defect? Are you always in the mood for the same thing? Do you use mp3s or lossless? Why do you care? No one cares if you go for a smaller storage size. Great, that's what works for you. It's great to have choices to fit a wide swath of peoples needs.
Not to even get started on things, apps, etc. I need for work.
Exactly. I sync with iTunes, after the first time, you just make a few changes here and there and it's easy. Not to mention cloud proponents assume there is unlimited bandwidth with excellent coverage everywhere.
Just curious, why do you want refocusing on a camera that reaches hyperfocal at about 3ft?
The reduction of earbuds and port will substitute the price hike of additional storage.

That's because of currency exchanges. Russia is really bad and not stable
At least this would almost justify the $100 price increase between data tiers. I'd be so down for 128GB.
I don't see anything absurd here-- I do the same thing on my desktop. I never delete a picture, I just keep adding storage as it all fills up. My Aperture library is approaching two TB. Since you're probably taking most of your pictures with your phone, it's the natural place to keep them.
For me it's my music library that's crowding everything else out. I've had to downsample it to 128kbps, and would love to raise that bit rate. This is why I'm much more interested in increasing the top end storage, and could care less about whether they make a 16GB or not.
Great..
16GB is insulting and should have been obsolete years ago.

32GB is near the point where it is insulting as well...
Not citing anything new but 32GB base is a huge positive...if Apple maintains its current 16GB iPhone introductory price point.
Sounds good to me, hopefully they won't use this as an opportunity to bump up prices (iPad Pro style). I suspect that they will keep the starting price price for the 32 GB model the same as the current 16 GB 6s, but we'll see what happens with the higher tiers. A $150 premium to move from 32 to 128 GB may scare a lot of people off of upgrading (even though it's $50 cheaper than it is to get 128 GB now...) Maybe a $100 premium for 128 GB but then another $150 on top of the 128 GB model price for 256 GB?
I kind of hope they keep the 64 GB model but only charge a $50 premium since 64 GB is the sweet spot for me (I could live with 32 GB but it would be more work), but that seems unlikely...

But what will MR commenters complain about???
Honestly I'd even be okay with the 7 starting at $700 but with a 32 GB configuration just so people quit running out of space so fast. Wouldn't be surprising given that the Samsung S7 and S7 Edge phones cost more than the 6s and 6s Plus, respectively, in their 16 GB configurations.

Shrink the ****** bezel already and get rid of the home button. I'm not buying any more iPhones until they do this. The 6s is already good enough.
Also make it cheaper since carrier subsidies are gone. I'm not gonna pay $500-$600 for a phone every year or two.

Its like that here in Canada too for some carriers. But, cellular bandwidth is expensive - you can't just keep downloading all your data off the "cloud" at will - bandwidth limit will be consumed quickly. Cloud storage just isn't an option, where WIFI is spotty and while data plans are fairly expensive for limited monthly data allowance.
Why do you keep 400 videos and 10,000 photos on your phone? Don't you back them up to a hard drive and/or cloud storage?Oh boy, I can't wait, I've got around 400 videos, 10000 photos and 128GB starts to seem like eh-eh, so the 256 will be very much welcomed! Just try not to increase price, and by the way, I just can't imagine who would only need 16GB, even my mum has got 64gb with all her flower and cooking data in it
I remember this girl in front of me in the apple store when i was buying my 6s+ and the apple guy asked her which colour and memory she wants and her BF said to her '' 16 enough, 16enough, lets go '' and she took it, i thought i was gonna faint but yes, people do that.

This is hilarious. The reason people are clambering over 256gb iPhones is so they can carry around every photo that they (and their father) took in the last 40 years? Jesus Christ. That is stuff that should be backed up somewhere, and if you like to have access to every picture in existence then put them on the cloud or create your own server. I just don't understand this mentality. I have several terabytes of media at home. I have hundreds of gigs of photos in the cloud. I'm buying the 32gb model in September. It would be ridiculous for me to start bitching about how I need a 10TB iPhone.
