We here at Macworld love to get on our soapbox and complain about the specs where Apple shortchanges customers. We complained about RAM on Macs until Apple finally had to upgrade the baseline to 16GB to accommodate Apple Intelligence. Our latest cause is the base storage configuration for iPhones: it needs to be 256GB, not the current 128GB.

According to a Weibo post by Setsuna Digital, that upgrade may finally happen. Setsuna Digital, who has a reputation for accurate iPhone leaks, states that, “In 2025, Pro will finally start at 256GB. This is really not easy for Apple.
