“Following the news that Apple’s new iPhone N94 device has appeared in the Apple internal inventory system, we are now hearing that this new iPhone will come in three storage capacities,” Mark Gurman reports for 9 to 5 Mac.
“Given that we’ve also heard from manufacturing sources that Apple has at least been prototyping 64GB versions of the new iPhone, we would say it’s fairly likely that Apple’s new iPhone will come in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities; just like the iPad,” Gurman reports.
“Each of these capacities will come in both black and white,” Gurman reports.

Yay! If true, this virtually guarantees a 128GB Touch. 🙂
considering all the rumors of no major spec bump for the iPod touch as well as the discontinuation of the classic, this actually makes a lot of sense.
I’m not really bothered what size the memory comes in. I don’t really use much of it to store documents, music and such. But what would prevail over that would be a 4″ screen. That would be a step up from the current 3.5″ screen which I find slightly cramped now in comparison to the latest models Samsung & HTC are releasing.
Well, I’d like to be able to store more music as well as be able to record video without worrying about losing all the video when I run out of drive capacity.
Meh, I’m all for a 4″ display if they can keep the over all size of the iPhone the same. Those phones with 4″ displays from other OEMs are monstrous. The iPhone is currently the perfect size.
It makes no more sense for apple to sell the non-connected, non iOS iPod Classic and Nano… I think you are right about the 128GB touch… and maybe even 256GB… that would be bomb. I also think the nano could gain wifi connectivity and the ability to purchase directly from iTunes without going through a computer and also to access iTunes in the cloud.
A 256 GB Touch with 3G? Ok, where do I stand in line?
Won’t iCloud make onboard ram a lot less of an issue in the future?
No – it appears you are confusing RAM with storage space.
No, no, no! iCloud just gives you the opportunity to download your own music from the cloud and for purchased music to appear on other devises. It’s not a streaming service, and unless you have no interest in music, or few tracks, having lots of music with you means not having to keep deleting and downloading stuff. The more storage the better, I have over 1200 tracks on my 32Gb iPhone, 1.4Gb of Ordnance Survey Maps, CoPilot Live, several hundred books, and recently cleared off 1200 photos. If you use an iPhone to it’s fullest capability, you need lots of storage, a 500meg cap on data per month makes continuous cloud use a no-no.
If it’s true all I got to say us it’s about stinking time.
I hate trying to pick and predict which music I might feel like listening to for the next week. And how must the rest of my collection feel being left home alone while I wander about the country with just 1/2 of my Pre-80’s country/rock collection.
Well that and all of Firefly.
Just use iTunes in the Cloud – and make sure you download at WiFi hotspots!
Been thinking lately about all the Flash storage that goes to waste in discarded iPhones. Wonder if a third party will come up with a solution to turn them into external storage devices?
I hope this is true!
I’ve been holding onto my 60 GB iPod, as a backup for my music collection.
With a 64 GB iPhone, I no longer need to keep it.
I need it! My 32GB iPhone is too constricted – I hate having to delete music and video just to add something new. More storage should mean more sales for Apple, so it should be a no-brainer. We’ll see.
