“Last fall, Apple introduced three new flagship iPhone models: iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X,” Ashraf Eassa writes for The Motley Fool. “All three of these smartphones came in the same two storage configurations: 64 GB for the entry-level models and 256 GB for the higher-end versions. The 256 GB option for each device cost $150 more than its 64 GB counterpart.”
“In the coming iPhone product cycle, I expect that Apple will offer variants of its premium iPhone X-series devices with an even bigger 512 GB storage configuration — a configuration that was previously rumored for the current iPhone X lineup but ultimately didn’t materialize last year,” Eassa writes. “I believe the 6.1-inch LCD iPhone will come in the same storage configurations that the current iPhone models do — 64 GB base configuration and 256 GB for the upgraded configuration.”
“Tthe successor to the iPhone X and its larger counterpart could come in three storage configurations: 64 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB,” Eassa writes. “Alternatively, Apple could limit the 512 GB configuration to the larger iPhone X model if space and/or power consumption requirements for 512 GB of storage prove to be problematic for the smaller device.”

It’s all good botty. Unless you’re the “visionary” Bill Gates and also think “640K ought to be enough for anybody.”
One question. Why?
One word answer: video. Specifically, 4K video, which needs 21.0GB of storage for 1 hour of recorded video.
Yes, precisely why I buy an iPhone with as much storage as possible to store pics and 4K/HD video.

Great, so transferring 400GB of video to my Mac over USB-2 speeds will take how many hours? 3 to 5?
