Apple becomes more generous with their iPhone storage option in the past few versions they’ve released. However, it still lags behind the top Android brands that offer 1T storage as one of the user’s options.
According to Wedbush analysts’ report about Apple’s supply chain, the next iPhone release will have a 1T storage option. Allegedly, iPhone 13 will have twice the maximum storage capacity of the iPhone 12 Pro, which comes with the following storage options:
Currently, the only device that comes with a 1T storage is Apple’s iPad Pro. iPhone offers all the latest features, so why did Apple leave out the storage option for its users?
It would be convenient for users that need a vast storage capacity if Apple releases a 1T storage option for its next product launch. However, such a huge storage capacity is not for everyone. Some can be perfectly content with a mere 34GB.
There are rumors and reports about the release of the iPhone 13. Furthermore, speculation says that Apple will release the latest iPhone this coming fall. Aside from the 1T storage option, other features are expected to be included in the next release. Here are some ideas from enthusiasts:
- Alway-on display
- 120Hz refresh rate
- A more robust version of MagSafe magnetic connector.
- New astrophotography features
An earlier report from Mashable says that iPhone 13 will be similar to its predecessors in design. However, the highlight feature of the anticipated release will be its ultra-wide camera.
Real or Rumors
Currently, the 1T storage claims are only coming from analysts, enthusiasts, and online articles. For now, there are articles online that allegedly confirm the storage rumor. Jon Pressor, famously known for his phone-related leaks, claims that most iPhone prototypes feature 1T storage for its “Pro” models. The content creator claims that Apple will opt for a larger storage option for this year’s lineup.
Meanwhile, according to Bloomberg, Apple does not plan any significant changes for 2021’s iPhone lineup. Here are other speculations about the anticipated iPhone release:
- S upgrade
- Smaller notch
- 120Hz Display
- Under-display fingerprint scanner (for Touch ID)
- Sensor-shift optical image stabilization
- iPhone 12S
However, although there are ongoing rumors and online debate about the iPhone’s 1T storage option, Apple has no official release statement.
Why Is iPhone’s 1T Storage A Big Deal
There are currently many articles about the rumored 1T capacity for iPhone’s next lineup release. As mentioned above, the iPhone is known to have limited storage options available. Although it’s considered one of the most popular smartphone brands, the iPhone has a disadvantage in storage capacity.
Take Samsung, for example. The brand has been offering 1T phones for almost two years with their Galaxy S10. Now, Apple is also expected to release 1T storage for the upcoming release.
The ongoing rumors only prove Apple’s popularity as the top brand in the global smartphone market. In fact, according to Statista, the brand generated 23.4% of sales for the final quarter of 2020, proving its popularity on the market.
Final Note
In the end, the 1T storage capacity is still a rumor. For now, let’s wait for the official release of Apple’s next lineup.
