For the past eight years, Apple has offered iPhones with 64GB of starting storage. However, with the launch of the iPhone 16e and iPad 11, the company decided to raise the minimum storage to 128GB. This reflects the changing needs of users, with 128GB now considered the de facto minimum.
The basic internal memory level of 64 GB was applied by Apple on the iPhone line launched in 2017.
Since the iPhone X launched in 2017, with its advanced features like Face ID and edge-to-edge display, 64GB has become the standard storage capacity. Although the iPhone 4S had a 64GB version before that, that was the maximum capacity available for that model. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus models that followed did not have a 64GB option, instead starting at 32GB and increasing to 128GB and 256GB.
Times have changed with storage needs on iPhone and iPad
However, with the increasing size of photos, videos and storage requirements of the iOS operating system, 64 GB has become cramped for many users. Although Apple has tried to solve this problem by introducing a feature to automatically uninstall apps to save space, users still often have difficulty updating their devices due to the larger storage requirements.
Now, with the removal of the 64GB option, all iPhone and iPad models (except the iPad Pro) start at 128GB, which not only gives users more storage space, but also reflects a shift in Apple's strategy as larger capacities become more popular.
Furthermore, with the introduction of Apple Intelligence, the storage requirements for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS have increased significantly. Users now need at least 7 GB to run Apple Intelligence, which is certainly frustrating for many people who are running out of storage space.
One of the most disappointing things about Apple is that the company still keeps the free storage capacity of 5 GB for iCloud cloud service, limiting the storage capacity of consumers.
