Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models might arrive with a new 2TB maximum storage option.
According to a rumor that’s come out of China that’s been reported by the “yeux1122” account on the Korean Naver blog, a supplier source has confirmed that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be available with double the maximum storage capacity as the iPhone 14 Pro models.
In addition, a Weibo account posted the same claim over the weekend, while adding that the Pro models are likely to start with a minimum of 256GB storage rather than the current base 128GB capacity on iPhone 14 models.
Following the latter scenario, Apple would offer four available storage tiers – 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB. The storage bumps could also dovetail with rumors that Apple is set to increase the price of iPhone 15 Pro models this year.
Apple first added a 1TB storage option for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max in 2021. The new option was due primarily to new camera features, such as ProRes video, which consumes significantly more storage than regular videos.
Apple is expected to hold its annual iPhone event on either Tuesday, September 12, or Wednesday, September 13, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, and we’ll have specific storage capacity details immediately following the event.
