No More 64GB Storage - iPhones Now Start With 128GB

Apple did away with the 64GB storage option for the iPhone 16e, which means all iPhones now start with at least 128GB of storage.

Unfortunately, more storage means the ‌iPhone 16e‌ has a $599 starting price instead of a sub-$500 price, but at least iPhone buyers will no longer have an unreasonably low amount of storage to work with.

Apple's sole remaining product with a 64GB storage tier is the iPad, but that will likely be phased out when the ‌iPad‌ 11 launches later this year.

While the ‌iPhone 16e‌ starts with 128GB of storage, there are also 256GB and 512GB options available for a higher price. The ‌iPhone 16e‌ is set to launch on Friday, February 28.

This is a $499 iPhone with 64GB. Apple just force clicked on the 128GB storage upgrade option for everyone. We've seen this strategy on 16 Pro Max with "base" 256GB.

Finally. I’m not thrilled with the price obviously. But I managed to get through 10 years with the 16gb iPhone 6 I bought back in 2015. For $649. Going from the A8 to the A18.
Bigger screen, battery, better camera etc. Should be like trading in a Pinto for a Mercedes. At my age (70) this phone is more than good enough for me.

256GB should be the minimum on a premium modern smartphone.

$200 Android phones have 128GB storage. This isn't anything revolutionary.
