Professionals who use the 12 pro models in almost any video capacity or who have switched over to the ProRAW format for photos, or even regular users who just want to have the best quality possible. 4k Video and RAW photos very quickly balloon up in size. I myself would never approach 1 tb on my phone, but given the draw of the $1k+ phone is its ability to cross the gap into professional application, 1 tb for 4k video and proRAW photo usage seems like it should've been a given.
The way A chips access storage, they need a bunch of extra RAM for the 1TB and up and Pro SoC already has more RAM (6GB). Apple uses "Package on Package" technology to build the A14 SoC.. they're not going to build a third model of A15 chip just for the few devices that get 1TB+ to have 8GB RAM.
I bet you have your phone set to defaults if you actually use what you pay for 4K 60FPS video and RAW images the storage burns right through.
Gotta keep collecting that sweet licensing cash from third-party vendors
Coming in 2025
Not sure where your stats come from but iPhone revenue is not down year over year (between the 11 and 12). The 13 or whatever its called will be successful because there are still many X and under users itching for an upgrade. Even with all the 12s sold, the 13 has the potential to sell even more. Remember from July - sept the 12 sales will fall ( slightly) as people wait it out for the 13. The reality is that most people are on a 3-4 year cycle and don’t update yearly. If you look at the spread of iPhones devices still being used from 6 -12 there are plenty of 6,7 8, X and even Xs users that will be upgrading to a 13. the majority of users couldn’t care less about 120 hrtz OLED, A15 and all the tech specs, they just know that they had their phone for 3 or fours years and its time to get a new one. That has been the driving factor to iphone success. Loyalty, you buy another iPhone and not a samsung, not massive innovation year over year. The smartphone market is a mature market. The goal of all smartphone makers is to keep people buying their phones. Samsung tried “innovation”with foldables and they are expensive junk. The tried and tru slab smartphone is still the one most people will buy. Maybe foldable are the future and will drive innovation but until they figure out how to make a good, durable, waterproof, without a crease down the middle, foldable will be a niesh market and not impact overall sales. IE expensive junk. Just my two cents Happy Monday to all.
This year or next year
I use iCloud as a service, I have 750gb worth of pictures on my iCloud, my music library is 84gb worth of songs under high quality, 255gb if I download all them under hi res.
I don't think it was ever believed to begin with. That rumor was nothing more than empty words.
BORING...I have to PASS on this new phone....SAD!!!
Apple will likely unveil its next-generation "iPhone 12s" or "iPhone 13" lineup in around two and a half months from now, and ahead of time, Taiwanese research firm TrendForce has outlined its expectations for the devices.
A summary of TrendForce's expectations:
With the pandemic showing signs of easing in the United States and Europe, TrendForce forecasted that annual iPhone production for 2021 will grow by around 12.3% on a year-over-year basis to 223 million units. The research firm believes the "iPhone 12s" lineup will account for nearly 40% of that total production volume.
- Apple will unveil four new iPhones in September, including a mini model, a standard model, and two Pro models. September is the usual month for Apple to unveil new iPhones, but the iPhone 12 lineup was announced in October last year due to reported COVID-19-related production delays.
- The new iPhones will have a smaller notch above the display, but will otherwise have a similar outward design as iPhone 12 models.
- The devices will be powered by Apple's next-generation A15 chip manufactured based on TSMC's 5nm+ process.
- All four iPhones will be equipped with OLED displays, while the two Pro models will also feature a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother content.
- The new iPhones will have the same storage capacity options as their iPhone 12 counterparts. iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 models are available with 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of storage, while 12 Pro models have a 512GB option.
- The rear camera system on all four iPhones will be equipped with sensor-shift image stabilization, a feature that is currently exclusive to the iPhone 12 Pro Max. For the new Pro models, the Ultra Wide lens will gain autofocus.
- The LiDAR Scanner will remain limited to the Pro models.

Boring update to go with the boring OS update that is IOS15 lol.
I mean, they still went with iOS 13, so I don’t see why they wouldn’t.
I'd be right there with you! Well, slightly behind you at 13:13 hours
I agree with the sentiment and liked your post but in my experience, all these devices I have:
I think with AirDrop and/or iCloud Photos 512GB will still be enough for holding temporarily the photoshoot or recording session.
What if you lose your iPhone?
Haha, nor ‘S’ after a number, pretty sure somewhere in some random community or beliefs structure it is seen as the next incarnation of evil itself.
