Something very important emerged yesterday and its biggest implication was missed by many people: Apple just made the iPhone 7 $100 less expensive…
That’s the exciting news following the Wall Street Journal’s ‘confirmation’ that the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will scrap the 16GB entry level tier in favour of a 32GB model.
The revelation also backs up a number of smaller leaks already reporting this change, but the WSJ is by far the most influential site to speak out and its track record is impeccable. Like other sources, the WSJ also claims Apple will rearrange the other iPhone tiers so out goes 16/64/128GB in favour of 32/128/256GB.
This should work out as follows:
iPhone 7: $649 (32GB), $749 (128GB) and $849 (256GB)
iPhone 7 Plus: $749 (32GB), $849 (128GB) and $949 (256GB)
