Analyst: Both 4.7 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 models to offer 128GB storage; iPad Air 2 launch on same day

“KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, in a report this morning, states that both 4.7- and 5.5-inch models of the iPhone 6 will be launched next week and will both offer 128GB storage option,” Ben Lovejoy reports for 9to5Mac.

“If Apple retains its usual three-tier structure this would suggest 32GB, 64GB and 128GB models – though it could be that 128GB would be a fourth tier, as with its iPad Air models,” Lovejoy reports. “Or, as a previous report suggested, Apple could keep the 16GB option as a very low price tier and skip 32GB.”

Lovejoy reports, “The same report predicts that the iPad Air 2 will be announced on the same day as the iPhone 6 rather than in a separate event in October.”

  1. So…
    We could have three tiers: 32 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB.
    OR
    We could have three tiers: 16 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB.
    OR
    We could have four tiers: 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB.

    I’m sure glad that article cleared things up for me!

    (Though they really left out two more possible variants:
    We could have three tiers: 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB (like now).
    OR
    We could have three tiers: 16 GB, 32 GB, and 128 GB. (replace the 64 GB with a larger 128 GB)

  2. I could see Apple doing something like:

    4.7 inch iPhone 6, 16GB, Glass display $199 (on contract, same as before)
    4.7 inch iPhone 6, 64 GB, Glass display $349 (on contract, $50 cheaper than before)
    4.7 inch iPhone 6 128 GB, Sapphire display $499 (more storage and sapphire for $150, seems reasonable)

    5.5 inch iPhone 16 GB, Glass display $299
    5.5 inch iPhone 64 GB, Sapphire Display $499
    5.5 inch iPhone 128 GB Sapphire display $599
