Will iPhone 7 now cost $100 less?

Good news for anyone who wants an iPhone 7 but doesn’t want to pay $100 extra to get more than 16GB of storage. Yes, Apple is going to make iPhone 7 $100 cheaper, with legendary 32 Gigabytes.

According to WSJ, the new iPhone is expected to have 32 GB of base storage. Instead of 16GB as an offset limit for the entry-level iPhone, the new starting point will be 32GB, according to a person familiar with Apple’s iPhone plans.

With incremental updates, Apple will reset the other iPhone tiers also; out goes 16/64/128 GB in favor of 32/128/256GB.

• iPhone 7: $649 (32GB), $749 (128GB) and $849 (256GB)

• iPhone 7 Plus: $749 (32GB), $849 (128GB) and $949 (256GB)

No matter which usage pattern you follow, a 16 GB iPhone often leave cluttered effects. We will do the Maths for you:

• iOS consumes 3GB leaving just 13GB to start with
• iOS needs circa 1GB for updates
• Individual iOS games can use up to 4GB of space
• 3-4GB for an iTunes HD movie downloads
• 4K video consumes 375MB per minute
• 12MP photos are 3-4MB and Live Photos double that to 7-8MB

However, 32 GB iPhone changes everything.

•  28GB of free space to start with
•  1GB of space for iOS upgrades
•  6GB for apps
•  22GB for video of photos

We are yet to comment on the iPhone7 plus because this model is moving to a dual lens camera without disclosing the photo and video file size.

So there it goes, Apple users are getting a real big reason to upgrade from an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6S to iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus.
