The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max may start with an increased 256GB of storage, rather than the starting 128GB option previously offered for the high-end iPhone models, according to updated forecast from TrendForce.

According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 14 lineup will be around 15% more expensive than the average selling price of the iPhone 13 lineup, but a higher starting storage option on the Pro models may offset the price increase for customers. According to TrendForce, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max may start with 256GB of storage and not 128GB as previously offered. The increased storage option would make sense given the rumored price hike, but rumors are still conflicting on whether or not this will be the case.
The iPhone 13 Pro with 256GB of storage costs $1,099, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max with 256GB of storage is priced at $1,199. According to TrendForce, these will be around the same prices as the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, respectively, with 256GB of on-device storage. TrendForce today also doubled down on past reports, including the iPhone 14 Pro featuring updated RAM. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are expected to feature the same 6GB of memory as the current iPhone 13 Pro but will use the newer and faster LPDDR5 type of memory.

It has been a slow start to 2026 for Apple product launches, with only a new AirTag and a special Apple Watch band released so far. We are still waiting for MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, the iPhone 17e, a lower-cost MacBook with an iPhone chip, long-rumored updates to the Apple TV and HomePod mini, and much more.
Apple is expected to release/update the following products...
It would certainly lower the impact of the upcoming price increase, at least mentally and I am sure Apple is still making plenty of money with that.
Also, let's not forget the debacle of ProRes being only available on devices 256 GB and up! May as well start at the space that is needed to support a feature! Especially with 8K coming as well
I hope THIS rumor is true. Frankly I always thought it was a waste of beautiful hardware to stick ridiculously low storage on their Pro devices.
128 gb isn’t horrible, but if you’ve got this phone with an advanced camera capable of taking all these amazing photos and videos that incidentally produce massive sized files…why hamstring it with inadequate storage that inhibits people from trying out the full capabilities of their phone?
128 gb is a generous starting point for the non pro models. I have 128 gb on the iPhone 11 I’m using now and that’s perfectly aligned to the phone’s capabilities. It’s sufficient and therefore I am happy. I’m not unreasonable in my expectations.
But I’d be big mad stuck with 128 gb on a phone that has a camera the rumors are promising for the 14 Pros.
128GB of storage is becoming increasingly more difficult to work with, since phones then to fill up quicker because of the increasing size of pictures and other media. A base of 256GB seems very reasonable, especially if there is a price increase.
