Is 128GB SSD enough for MacBook Pro?

I find it incredibly unlikely it will be 128GB. Apple hasn't increased the minimum since it introduced the 13" rMBP, so they're due for a bump. Meanwhile, the first gen retina MacBook, which was introduced after the last update to the 13" rMBP has 256GB. There's no reason for Apple to continue having the rMB have more minimum storage than the rMBP.

I agree, and hope so. With SSD prices continuing to drop at some point the cost of having SKUs for low end memory machines does not justify any additional profit made from larger machines. And 256 seems to be the bottom on many top tier models.

I believe the made the 15" models all 16 GB in 2014.

I wouldn't be surprised if the rMBP 13 2016 still came with 128gb on the base model. Their flagship 6S still only has 16gb base in 2016....

But the non-pro MacBook has 256gb. They couldn't make the MBP have less than the MB. It would be like giving the 6S 16gb while the base model of the SE would have 32gb.

Yeah, that wouldn't make sense to a consumer. They would ask what the storage capacity of the base model MB is and then the MBP since they both cost the same, and that could make them lean more towards a MB instead of a MBP based on the higher storage.

So? The Macbook 2015 had a base of 256gb and the 13 inch Macbook Pro early 2015 which was announced at the same time with a base of 128gb. The 15 inch base is 256gb
