Double Storage, Double the Fun: Apple’s Potential Upgrade for iPhone 16 Pro

Meet the latest rumor surrounding the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro: it might come with a whopping 256GB of storage as its baseline option! That’s right, folks, Apple might be doubling the minimum storage capacity from the previous year’s 128GB variant. And if you’re wondering how this affects the price, well, let’s just say you might need to shell out a bit more cash to get your hands on this sleek new device.

The rumor comes from Taiwan-based market research firm TrendForce, which claims that the base iPhone 16 Pro will likely be priced higher than its predecessor due to the inclusion of the much-coveted tetraprism zoom lens, previously exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. To make the price increase more palatable, Apple will bump up the storage to 256GB. This strategy isn’t entirely new, as we saw with the iPhone 15 Pro Max last year.

But that’s not all – the report also hints at the new A18 and A18 Pro chips, which will power the iPhone 16 series. And get this: all four models will come equipped with 8GB of RAM, making them even more capable of handling those demanding Apple Intelligence features. We’re just a week away from Apple’s big reveal on September 9, so stay tuned for more updates!
