Una filtración sugiere que el iPhone 7 de 16 GB ha muerto

The idea of the 16GB iPhone 7 isn’t exactly a turnon to most Apple fans, but many are willing to endure it if they’ll be able to get their hands on Apple’s next-generation iPhone come next month. We’ve already heard that Apple podría acabar con el iPhone de 16 GBpero no era más que un rumor con poco respaldo. Ahora, sin embargo, tenemos la primera prueba tangible de que Apple podría no lanzar un iPhone 7 de 16 GB este año.

La fuente es un miembro de Twitter El malignoque Se filtran fotos del OnePlus 3 a pocos días de su presentación así como el variante roja del OnePlus 3 that the leakster noted before the company realized it had been exposed and took it down. OnePlus went on record as saying that there wouldn’t be a red variant this year, but at least El maligno ha sido fiable con su información. En eso, se une a las filas de LlabTooFeR, @evleaks (Evan Blass de VentureBeat), @OnLeaks, y otros.

The Malignant took to Twitter again to post on August 24th the following message: “#iPhone 7 purported internal NAND components sheet seems to confirm 32/128/256GB storages. Supplier is Toshiba?”

Now, we’re not surprised to see Toshiba as the supplier of NAND flash storage for iPhones; Toshiba served as a NAND flash storage supplier for Apple devices in the past, such as el iPod Touch de cuarta generación y el iPad 2El iPhone 6s Plus y iPhone 6s (Apple se abasteció de dos fuentes de flash NAND el año pasado), así como de el iPhone 3GSy el smartphone más reciente de Apple, el iPhone SE. Apple has been looking to SK Hynix, Toshiba, and Samsung for its NAND flash storage but could very well return to Toshiba for the iPhone 7 due to issues with its own NAND flash in last year’s iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Toshiba will likely become the supplier for the next-generation iPhone, though the company won’t be in charge of NAND flash storage for a 16GB iPhone 7 model.

What is surprising, however, is to see that Apple is only looking to offer 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage models for the iPhone 7. Apple has been offering 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus variants, having done away with the 32GB storage model over two years ago. Now, in an attempt to get consumers to upgrade to the 128GB storage model, Apple is eliminating the 64GB storage model and the 16GB iPhone 7 in the hopes of getting consumers to spend even more money. And to make matters worse? The 256GB model is also in store for iPhone 7 customers — a claim that was dado cierta credibilidad con un rumor anterior.

The 16GB iPhone 7 would, as has been the case with 16GB iPhones past and present, be an insult to Apple consumers who pay a pretty penny to pick up Apple’s latest. Cupertino unveiled the iPhone 6 Plus two years ago and mandated that consumers pay $749 for a 16GB model (while other consumers for other companies pay $749 for 32GB of minimum internal storage). Starting in 2015, Samsung increased the base storage for all its high-end “Galaxies”: the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, and the Galaxy S6 edge+. The Korean giant had already made the Galaxy Note lineup a 32GB-minimum device, but decided to double the internal storage in this year’s Galaxy Note 7 from 32GB to 64GB.
