iPhone 7 line up: no 16GB ROM being produced

It is such a common knowledge that Apple iPhone never comes with a microSD card slot to expand their in
ternal storage. Therefore, users can rely only on their built-in ROM to store files and media. Knowing that, Apple has finally decided that its time to say good by to their low configuration – 16GB ROM. Instead, this variant will be replaced with a 32GB capacity, offering more space for their future iPhone 7 users.

The reason for this change is that, iOS updates are getting heavier and heavier, and with too small free space, it is hard to get the upgrade and run smoothly. Especially when rumors are saying that, iPhone 7 will have very condensed retina Apps and high resolution musics, as well as an upcoming streaming Video service. We even think that, with these configurations, maybe even the 32GB ROM is not far from enough.

However, many users are saying that, for a long time now, the 16GB model has been the most popular, thanks to its affordable price. Such removal of the “budget” variant will likely cause a great decline in the amount of iPhone 7 bought worldwide? Or will it even boost the sales stronger for meeting up with public’s demands?
