In a wide-ranging commentary piece about why
**w is a bad time to buy a new iPhone,
The Wall Street Journal has confirmed that the
iPhone 7 will
Start with
32GB of
Storage, Replacing the infamous
16GB Base tier offered since the
iPhone 3GS.
The new iPhones are expected to have more storage for those photos. Instead of 16GB as a starting point for the entry-level iPhone, the new starting point will be 32GB, according to a person familiar with Apple?s iPhone plans. Hallelujah! I?ve long said that keeping the 16GB iPhone was just a ploy for Apple to get people to buy the 64GB model?for $100 extra.
The bump from
16GB to
32GB of entry-level storage has already been widely rumored by
multiple Asian sources connected with Apple's supply chain, but confirmation from
The Wall Street Journal makes the claim much more credible.
Two of the three storage options for
iPhone 7 will likely be
32GB and 128GB, while
multiple sources have said that at least the larger Plus-sized 5.5-inch
Model will be available with 256GB of storage. It is unclear if the 4.7-inch
Model will also have a 256GB storage option. The current storage options for both the
iPhone 6s and
iPhone 6s Plus include 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB.
The Wall Street Journal previously confirmed that the
iPhone 7 will have a thinner
iPhone 6s-like design with
** headphone jack and improved
waterproofing. Other rumored features include a
faster Apple A10 processor,
repositioned antenna bands,
faster LTE and Wi-Fi, and camera improvements, possibly including a
dual-lens camera (and
3GB of RAM) exclusive to the 5.5-inch model.
