Driven by domestic mobile phones, 1TB storage has become the standard configuration of many new machines, and the price has also been lower, and now some 1TB storage mobile phones can even be won for less than 2,000.
Last year, it was reported that the S24 Ultra, the super-large cup model of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, will offer up to 2TB of storage, becoming the first 2TB mobile phone. With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, everyone already knows that the news is not reliable, and the maximum storage specification of the S24 Ultra is still 1TB.
Although Samsung has not achieved this achievement, due to the increasing size of various apps and photos and videos, this year, we will still welcome 2TB mobile phones, and it is brought by fruit.
According to foreign media reports, the iPhone 16 Pro series, which is expected to debut in September this year, will provide up to 2TB of storage, which will not only be the largest iPhone model in history, but also the first smartphone model with 2TB storage.
For 2TB of storage, the iPhone 16 Pro series will change the storage capacity, moving away from three-tier cell (TLC) NAND flash to a higher density four-tier cell (QLC) NAND flash.
QLC can store four bits of data per memory cell, and TLC is three bits, so QLC NAND flash memory can store more data than TLC when using the same number of cells. However, there are pros and cons, and the read and write speed of QLC is slower than that of TLC.
1TB of storage is enough for the average user, and 2TB on the iPhone 16 Pro series should be for Apple's highlight this year - Vision Pro.
Apple's headset Vision Pro has been launched at a price of $3,499, equivalent to about 25,000 yuan, marking the beginning of the era of spatial computing.
As the best partner for Vision Pro, the iPhone 16 Pro series can record 3D spatial video, strengthen the linkage between the phone and the headset, achieve cross-screen collaboration and further strengthen Apple's strong ecosystem.
Videos already take up a lot of space, and 3D space videos will occupy more storage space than traditional 2D videos, so it is logical that the iPhone 16 Pro series will launch 2TB storage.
In other aspects, the appearance of the iPhone 16 Pro series is the same as that of the 15 Pro series, equipped with TSMC's 3nm process A18 Pro chip, in addition to the main camera, the ultra-wide-angle secondary camera will also be upgraded to 48 million pixels, and the iPhone 16 Pro will also use a 5X periscope telephoto lens.
The current 1TB iPhone 15 Pro series is priced at 12,999 yuan (iPhone 15 Pro) and 13,999 yuan (iPhone 15 Pro Max). According to the price difference of 1TB is 2000 yuan more expensive than 512GB, the price of the 2TB version of the iPhone16 Pro series is 15000.
Foreign media broke the news that the iPhone 16 Pro series, which is expected to be released in September, will provide up to 2TB of storage. 2TB phone, see you this year!
