A 2 TB Model

It’s far from the first time we’ve heard about the possibility of a 2 TB iPhone, but there’s reason to believe it might actually happen with this year’s iPhone 16 Pro Max.

In January, a rumor out of Korea claimed that Apple will finally make the switch to higher-density Quad-Level Cell (QLC) NAND flash memory, which would allow it to fit more storage into a smaller space at a lower cost.

That sounds promising until you consider that we heard the exact same thing three years ago concerning the iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, last year’s iPhone 15 Pro Max did shake up storage capacities by eliminating the 128 GB model from the bottom end. That could arguably clear the path for a 2 TB model on top, but Apple might also prefer to simplify things by returning to the more traditional three-capacity lineup that was the norm before the iPhone 13 Pro added the 1 TB model.
