“The guys over at GeekBar (a phone repair company) reportedly unearthed a new schematic for the iPhone 6, which suggests that the upcoming flagship phone will sport 128 GB of storage,” Mihai Matei reports for G 4 Games.
“Oddly enough though, the 32 GB model seems to be missing in action,” Matei reports. “According to this new data, the iPhone 6 will be offered in 16, 64 and 128 GB flavors. The 16 GB memory will be provided by Toshiba and Hynix; the 64 GB memory will be supplied by Hynix, Toshiba, and SanDisk; while the beefier 128 GB units will allegedly be delivered by Toshiba alone.”
Matei reports, “Once again, the 32 GB model seems to be missing in action, but this doesn’t necessarily confirm that Apple won’t release one.”

Apple’s upcoming 5.5-inch iPhone said to feature 128GB model and OIS camera; 4.7-inch iPhone to max out at 64GB – June 27, 2014
I will be so glad when Apple finally announces the new iPhone(s). It will finally end all of these stupid leaks and speculation. Of course then attention will turn to next year’s iPhone…
In the meantime, I can still wish for a 512GB iPhone with Iridium worldwide satellite service for $30 a month, right?
/not holding breath
I’m in line already for a 128gb gold model, pref. 5.5 if they aren’t unicorn fantasies.
How much do you want to bet Apple goes 16/64/128 with today’s 16/32/64 prices, at least for the supposed smaller 4.7?
It would make sense for the larger unicorn model to bump the prices up and not support 16gb.
So you’re getting the only model that comes with a sapphire display. Good for you.
How would you know about the “only model that comes with a sapphire display”? That’s speculation.
128 GB? It’s about time.
With hopefully a 256GB iPad soon thereafter!
Apple could make a killing if it offered up to 512 GB storage options in the iPad and allowed for easier downloading from cameras to the device — you shouldn’t need a string of adapters to move photos directly from a camera to an iPad.
Come on Apple stick a micro SSD slot in the iPhone then we can have as much storage space as we want for a fraction of the cost.
That’ll never happen. Why would Apple deliberately cut into its own profit margins?
Apple is ripping off its customers by charging such a high price for such a low memory storage space. The LG G3 can have a microSD up to 2TB for example.
It just grinds my gears that other companies sell their phones with micro ssd card slots and make a good profit on their phones and Apple are charging such a high price for such a low storage space.
As with the larger screen size that the iPhone 6 is supposed to have because people are moving away from Apple because of the small screen size of the current iPhone. People who moved away from Apple because they can have a phone with a ssd card slot might move back to Apple if they included the slot so Apple would make more money.
The issue with SDCards is security. That and the fact that theyre kind of a pain. When I found an Android phone, I wanted to get it back to the owner. It was as simple as plugging the SD card into my Mac, going through the phonebook and finding “Mother” and calling that person. Their pictures were all there and accessible also. It would make it useless for enterprise if this were the case with iPhone. Also the Cloud is really convenient IMO. I never have to back up my device, pull things from my phone to my Mac, etc. the cloud does it all for me. An SD card would be less convenient for me personally.
Security is not an issue with IOS all Apple needs to do is keep contact info and the like on the phone and allow the user to use the SD card for music,films user data (not IOS related data) etc. Im sure Apple could easily sort out any security issues with using SD cards.
As for the cloud well whats the point of having 50GB of data in the cloud you can’t download all that over carrier or wi-fi it would take a heck of a long time and be very inconvenient but having the data on a card well thats no problem.
As for SD cards being a pain once you have plugged your 1 or 2TB card into your phone you can forget about it and just use it.
I understand for you perhaps a SD card would be inconvenient but for others it would be very useful, the point is you would have a choice.
I’m going to hate the sticker price…but i need that 128gb. I know, i know…why not do iTunes match…..well i have over 10,000 songs and screw data …i would run through my 5 gb in a heartbeat.
And it makes a damn fine cup of coffee.
All that from a leaked schematic, eeh!
Might finally retire my 160GB iPod Classic if they ever release a 128GB iPhone or iPod Touch
you’d think that Apple could have found the time to update the iPod Classic since SEPTEMBER OF 2009. you read that correctly – no updates in 7 f$%^ing years. Cook has done absolutely nothing except remove all the click wheel games from the iTunes store. Bigger hard drives are available, and flash drives are available, and Apple has gone through several generations of styling on other product lines, but Cook hasn’t done jack to keep the iPod Classic fresh and useful. Under proper management, it could be. Why does Cook hate the iPod, the product that made Apple relevant to millions of users in 2001 all over again?
I think you answered your own question right there; ‘in 2001…’
The simple fact, that you appear to be missing, is that very few people, other than audiophiles, really want a Classic, because very few people have anywhere near enough music to need the capacity.
It’s a niche product.
Personally, I’d be delighted if I could get a click-wheel Classic with a pair of 256Gb SSD’s installed, but the firmware needs to be amended to take advantage of the capacity.
I’m inclined to think that now a 128Gb phone is in the offing, the Touch will come with 256Gb of storage, which will render the Classic completely obsolete.
