Earlier today, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the iPhone 14 lineup will likely cost more than the iPhone 13 series, which is leading to speculations of Pro models starting with increased 256GB storage (via MacRumors).
Back in June, TrendForce predicted that iPhone 14 Pro models could start with 256GB of storage, compared to 128GB for iPhone 13 Pro models. However, the research firm noted the storage amounts were still “TBD” at the time.
With noticeably higher prices than before, it is possible the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will offer increased storage in return for the extra cost.

Hon Hai/Foxconn is one of the winners of the increased ASP of iPhone 14 series. I estimated iPhone 14 series ASP would increase by about 15% (vs. iPhone 13 series ASP) to $1,000-1,050 (USD) due to two iPhone 14 Pro’s price hikes & higher shipment proportion. https://t.co/UgiW0kom4F— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo)
The iPhone 14 Pro models will reportedly sport a new pill-shaped cutout and hole (good-bye notch), next-gen A16 chip, and new 48-megapixel rear camera lens with 8K video recording and always-on display.
Apple is believed to be on schedule to announce the iPhone 14 series in September.
