However because it seems, I used to be completely improper. The smaller iPhone 16 Professional nonetheless begins with 128GB of storage, and since nobody else appears to be calling this tech crime out, I figured I might…
So, right here we go…
Apple’s newest tech crime shouldn’t be ignored – iPhone 16 Professional can’t begin with 128GB of storage in 2024-2025
If the Moto G85 can begin with 256GB of storage (on high of 12GB of RAM), what’s Apple’s excuse for the iPhone 16 Professional?
I imply… it’s so simple as that – in 2024, no person needs to be paying $1,000 for a flagship smartphone with solely 128GB of storage. I might finish the story right here however I suppose I have to be extra skilled…
If $200 telephones include 256GB of storage as default, Apple’s $1,000 iPhone 16 Professional has zero excuses to be enjoying it low-cost
And while you have a look at Apple’s rivals, this determination feels much more irritating…
So, which telephone is extra “Professional”, Apple? My $200 Motorola or the $1,000 iPhone 16 Professional? That’s an actual head-scratcher, and it actually shouldn’t be.
What’s the iPhone 16 Professional’s “pro-grade digicam” with an beginner quantity of storage, Apple?
Look… The reality is that Apple is doing what it is at all times completed, which is attempting to upsell iPhone customers on storage.
Individuals are inclined to preserve their telephones for longer than ever, and 128 GB of storage merely doesn’t reduce it – on any model, and any worth phase.
iPhone customers are used to getting “robbed” however we shouldn’t let this one slide
The 2024 iPhone 16 Professional shouldn’t have the identical base storage as my 2021 iPhone 13 mini.
I’d even go so far as saying that even when/if Apple decides to bump the bottom storage to 256GB on the smaller iPhone 17 Professional, that gained’t make up for the stingy transfer with the iPhone 16 collection.
However let’s not soar to such daring predictions – the iPhone 17 Professional may very nicely return to 64GB of storage if inflation retains rising.
Whereas my iPhone 13 having 128GB of storage makes some sense, it’s loopy to suppose that upgrading to the just-released, $1,000 iPhone 16 Professional will get precisely the identical quantity of space for storing for all the information I’ve been accumulating on my telephone prior to now 3-4 years.
And let me remind you, it’s not simply the iPhone 16 Professional that’s being shortchanged right here – the vanilla iPhone 16 fashions additionally begin with 128GB of storage, and these are nonetheless very costly telephones.
I suppose Apple is aware of iPhone customers pays for storage upgrades, even with these ridiculous storage limitations. However for these of us who care about getting worth for our cash, this appears like a slap within the face.
For now, the iPhone 16 Professional’s base storage stays one of the crucial disappointing points of an in any other case nice telephone. Let’s not let this one slide, iPhone customers!
