  • A new report suggests that Apple might double the baseline storage on the iPhone 16 Pro.
  • The device could pack a minimum of 256GB storage, but Apple might price it higher than the base iPhone 15 Pro.
  • The report also adds that the lineup will debut with new A18 and A18 Pro chips, and all four models will pack 8GB of RAM.

Apple bumped the base iPhone 15 Pro Max to 256GB of storage, but it still offered a 128GB variant of the smaller Pro model in last year’s lineup. That could change with the upcoming iPhone 16 series, with both the Pro and Pro Max models featuring a minimum of 256GB of storage.

Taiwanese market research firm TrendForce reports (via MacRumors) that the base iPhone 16 Pro will likely be priced higher than the base iPhone 15 Pro, as it’s expected to feature the tetraprism zoom lens that was previously exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. To make the price increase easier to digest, Apple will double the baseline storage to 256GB.
