This memory capacity was already speculated before the arrival of the iPhone 14. Now there is information that the new line of Apple phones will offer this giant internal memory again. But do we need that kind of storage in our iPhones?

Multiple sources discuss a 2TB storage version of the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro. Currently, Apple sells 128, 256 and 512GB capacities or a 1TB storage version. Many of us would be perfectly happy with the 1TB version, so why offer that much again? There may be a reason to do so.

Photos, videos, games

First and foremost, it’s about maintaining the variability of choice. Indeed, there’s again talk of Apple finally cutting back on the inadequate 128GB of storage, with the Pro series starting at 256GB. It’s certainly a sensible move that even numerous competitors, led by Samsung, are already bowing to.
