Apologies if this has been in a prior thread, but what are the rumors suggesting for iPhone 11/Pro/Pro Max capacities? Personally, I'd like to see a 128GB base capacity, but I feel that might be asking a bit too much.
Got a tip for us?

$18 Billion of aplles profit comes from upseliing storage NAND. They're not about to axe that cash cow.
New bottom tier iPhones will get 64GB to entice buyers to spend a lot more for a little more storage.
Today, 64GB is the new 16GB model of yesteryear

Leaked showed 128GB base storage for 11 Pro but 64GB for 11 (assuming this is XR)

I noted this before, the 128GB makes too much sense to be offered to us. Most of us will just grab that.
But by having 64GB and 256GB, they are still able to call it the $999 iPhone and at the same time make us fork out more money for storage we don’t need.

I hope it stays at 64. I replaced two iPads and my iPhone last year and took a look at how I was using local storage on each. With most things syncing to someone's cloud, all three were in the 50-60% range. For me, and probably for a lot of other people, 128GB would be paying (and paying a lot) for storage we'll never use.
Most consumers choose the middle tier option because they don't know how much they need. Apple doesn't make it easy to determine file sizes either.
I pretty much consistently use around 23-25GB and have done ever since I started letting the phone use iCloud and archive apps i’m not using etc. I also only keep iMessages for 30 days and manually clear WhatsApp chats of space consuming photos and videos every now and then.
So much as I might think a bump to 128GB would be a good thing, I don’t need it and wouldn’t use it.

Direct competitor to Apple, Samsung offers 256gb as base storage for the Note 10+.
Note 10+ and iPhone 11 Max will be compared closely by reviewers. So it would be stupid and outdated to put 64gb as base storage. (At least on the Pro -models, 64gb on the "iphone 11" makes sense)
But, you never know from Apple.
ps. One reason why Apple might call the iphones "pro" could be the bigger base storage.

I typically never use more than 30-35GB, but then again, I’m no power user. Personally I’d be happier if they gave more iCloud storage for free. I did see this today though: https://www.zdnet.com/article/2019-iphone-11-names-specs-pricing-and-release-dates-leaked/
Maybe they’ll give higher storage on the “Pro” models after all.

All you people who think they are going to keep 64gb of base for all models are wrong. Yes it has made Apple more money by not offering a 128gb option but their sales have been dipping and storage is much cheaper YOY. They know this year is not going to be that high on people’s upgrade lists.
Yes 128gb base for all pro models

Yes, I usually overbuy storage on my iPhones. I like to download a lot of music, but I probably need less storage. anyway. Overbuying storage is losing proposition because of cost, and I don't think I get it back. Especially on trade-in. And resale doesn't seem to be boosted by storage. I need to throttle myself on my next iPhone.

and it says the 256gb model is going to be $50 cheaper than XS max 256gb
isn’t that why we are here. Leaks and guessing. Either way we will find out soon enough. Pretty sure the price will be the same or cheaper
I can understand that 128 GB will be the sweet spot, but personally I'll get the 256 GB as my sweet spot. Technically I'm only using 25GB space on my XS Max.
