64GB Iphone could put an end to low storage iphones

Apple may dump its low-storage option on its
upcoming iPhone 8, which could start at the
64GB version, according to TrendForce.
It wouldn't be the first time. Apple ditched
the dreaded 16GB iPhone when it released
the iPhone 7, making 32GB the phone's
smallest storage option. Apple may continue
the trend by making 64GB the new smallest
capacity, and tossing out the 32GB option
altogether. The larger-capacity iPhone 8 is
said to storage 256GB of photos, video and
apps.
The move could play a part in the pricing of
the upcoming iPhone. A 256GB iPhone 7 will
already set you back $849/£799/AUD$1,379,
and the premium iPhone 8 is rumored to
cost over $1,000 with the introduction of
new technology like OLED displays . Limiting
the smallest size to 64GB instead of 32GB
could result in a higher price for the
cheapest iPhone 8 option, which could
dissuade some buyers.
While the 4.7-inch iPhone 7S and 5.5-inch
iPhone 7S Plus are believed to have a
maximum of 256GB storage, the report does
not offer their exact storage capacities.
What the report does say is that the iPhone
7S will be more economically priced to
compete against other smartphone brands.
That could mean less storage to keep costs
down.
