There are only a few days left until the iPhone 16 is officially no longer a future Apple phone. Next Monday, 9th, there will be a new Apple event and these devices will already be present. Until then, we can only continue to see new leaks that advance their news. The latest concerning the storage capacities that they will bring.
Until now, the iPhones in the “Pro” range were limited to a maximum capacity of 1TB. This is not small in terms of memory or price, since these are the most expensive. However, a recent rumor suggests that will double the maximum capacity providing even more space for users who need as much memory as possible.
If you want memory, get 2TB
The storage capacities of iPhones have been controversial for some time. Mainly because they always offered less than what the market already demanded, although it is true that in recent years things have improved a lot. There does not seem to have ever been a huge demand for high capacities, but despite this, they continue to improve.
To put the topic into context a bit, it is worth reviewing How much storage do iPhones have? since the iPhone 12 generation, which was the first to feature four models, as will now happen again with the iPhone 16.

As you can see, the “Pro” and “Pro Max” models have been differentiating themselves from the standard and “Plus” or “mini” models in this regard for years. In fact, The “Pro Max” sometimes offers improvements that even the “Pro” don’t have. A good example of this is the iPhone 13 Pro Max with an exclusive capacity of 1TB or the iPhone 15 Pro Max which started at 256GB.
And what are we waiting for the iPhone 16? Well, not too many changes, although there is a larger base memory in the “Pro” model, already equaling the “Pro Max”, while in its maximum capacities they would offer up to 2TB, the maximum in the history of the iPhone.
- iPhone 16: 128GB, 256GB and 512GB.
- iPhone 16 Plus: 128GB, 256GB and 512GB.
- iPhone 16 Pro: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB.
- iPhone 16 Pro Max: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB.
A significant asterisk in the 2TB
As always happens when talking about a leak, we can’t consider it completely confirmed. Basically because only Apple can do it and, as we already know, it won’t do it until next Monday. As reported in MacRumors, the 2TB leak is slow in coming. Are several sources that underline this for months now and, although it has been talked about in past generations, this year it seems like the right time.
Now, the asterisk is not so much whether this leak will be plugged or not, but rather whether This could be something completely exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro Max and that it hasn’t reached the iPhone 16 Pro. And, despite the fact that the two models will finally share a camera again, they could once again differentiate themselves on a key element like storage.
For the first time, we would have an iPhone for more than 2,000 dollars
In any case, we must keep in mind that this is versions that do not suit all audiences and all pockets. First, because there are those who do not need so much space or who compensate with cloud storage services like iCloud. Others prefer to pay less, since in these capacities the prices increase a lot.
The best example of how much can it cost It is found in the iPhone 15 Pro Max, whose 1TB version costs 1,969 dollars. They cost 500 dollars more than the base 256GB model, or 25% more expensive. In the event that a 2TB version arrives, it would not be uncommon for it to exceed the 2,000 euro mark.
