Several rumors that come from the Chinese social network Weibo, warn that the new models of iPhone 8 could add capacities of up to 512GB. Actually we already have the iPad Pro with these capabilities and we do not see this movement strange, in fact it would be something interesting for many users but excessive for others.
Currently the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus add an Apple storage between 4 and 6 GB of space for the operating system and integrated applications. In any case, the device with less capacity would benefit from 32 GB more than the current model since there is talk of a new iPhone with 64, 256 and 512 GB of internal memory.
Undoubtedly this could be very beneficial for the user considering that the current capacities are sufficient but each time the photographs, videos, applications and other data quickly consume that minimum capacity that Apple offers us, which is 32 GB. Obviously well managed, you can live perfectly with 32 GB of memory, but if they add a minimum of 64 GB for the entry model, we are not going to make it ugly either.
In any case, it must be made clear that the more memory the iPhone has, the more applications, data, music, photos and others we leave stored on the device and this is a habit that most users have acquired and it is not very good to say. You have to get used to keep the device as clean as possible (obviously within the normal range) so that the general operation of this is correct and also in case of loss or similar to have everything saved on the Mac or in the cloud for security.
On the other hand, it should be noted that current iPhone or iPad are capable of working perfectly with full memory and in the case of The iPad we already have a model with 512 GB of memory, which is a clear indication that it is not necessary to delete or download the content for it to work perfectly. In any case, it is good for security reasons so as not to lose the photos, videos, documents, etc., that we do not take.
You will have to see the price
In this sense, the increase in memory, if this rumor is true, will have an impact on the price of the new iPhone model and seeing what the newly presented Samsung Galaxy Note costs yesterday afternoon, then It would not surprise us if the 1.020,33 euros that the 7 GB iPhone 128 Plus model costs today to cost the 64 GB entry model of this iPhone 8. In any case, we must be cautious and see how this issue progresses, above all what we want to know now is if the keynote will be held on September 12 as the rumors say.
I hope you can take photos in RAW format in the iPhone camera app, because we will have a lot of room to store them.
