　　Recently, the topic of "iPhone 16 series" has once again ignited consumer enthusiasm. On April 24, according to the well-known leaker "LeaksApplePro", Apple plans to increase the starting storage capacity of the iPhone 16 Pro to 256GB, and the price may maintain the existing level of 999 US dollars (the starting price in China is 7999 yuan). As soon as this news came out, it immediately sparked a heated discussion among the majority of netizens, who said: "Finally got rid of the chicken ribs of 128GB." ”

　　At present, the iPhone 15 Pro series mobile phones on the market, its starting storage space of 128GB is no longer able to meet the needs of consumers for daily use. With the popularization of high-definition video and large-scale application software, even the daily use of simple photography, video recording, and social software such as WeChat may lead to a rapid shortage of mobile phone storage space. Therefore, the iPhone 16 Pro series will increase the starting storage to 256GB, which will undoubtedly greatly improve the storage experience of users.

　　However, while the increase in storage capacity is a bright spot that consumers are looking forward to, this improvement alone will make it difficult for Apple to regain lost market share in a highly competitive market. Recently, the latest data released by Counterpoint Research, a market research agency, shows that iPhone sales in the Chinese market in the first quarter fell sharply, falling by as much as 19%, falling to the third place in the fierce market competition. This performance is considered the worst quarterly performance of the iPhone in the Chinese market since 2020.

　　At the same time, global statistics also reflect the trend of declining Apple iPhone sales. According to a report released by IDC, Apple's global iPhone shipments in the first quarter fell by 9.6% year-on-year. A number of organizations have analyzed this trend and predicted that Apple's sales in the Chinese market could fall more than its overall global performance.
