Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro is expected to offer a significant upgrade in base storage. According to TrendForce, the company may eliminate the 128GB option, starting the lineup at a more generous 256GB.
This move aligns with Apple’s recent strategy of increasing the base storage for its Pro models. Last year, the iPhone 15 Pro Max debuted with a 256GB minimum, making it a natural progression for the iPhone 16 Pro to follow suit.
While the increased storage is likely to come at a premium, it may be offset by the inclusion of the tetraprism zoom lens, a feature previously exclusive to the Pro Max model. This combination of upgraded storage and advanced camera capabilities could make the higher price point more appealing to consumers.
Other rumored specifications for the iPhone 16 series include:
- Processor: A18 chip for non-Pro models, A18 Pro for Pro models
- RAM: Potential increase to 8GB for non-Pro models
As we get closer to the official launch event, we can expect to learn more about these features and other potential upgrades for the iPhone 16 series.
