Guo Mingchi: "1TB Large Capacity iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max Coming"
9to5Mac Reports Citing Investor Letter
[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] It is anticipated that the storage capacity of the 'iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max' models, to be unveiled at the Apple Special Event on the 14th (local time), will reach up to 1 terabyte (TB). This would be the first time in iPhone history.
According to IT specialized media 9to5Mac on the 12th (local time), Guo Mingchi, an IT analyst at TF International Securities, revealed this in a letter to investors.
The previous 'iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max' models were only available in 128, 256, and 512 gigabyte (GB) capacities.
However, it is expected that the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max will come in 128, 256, 512 GB, and 1 TB options. 1 TB equals 1000 gigabytes (GB).
Guo Mingchi also expressed the view that, like the previous iPhone 12 series, the iPhone 13 series could be affected by supply shortages due to COVID-19. However, he added a caveat that the shipment volume of the iPhone 13, scheduled for the fourth quarter, is expected to increase by more than 10% compared to its predecessor.
Meanwhile, Guo Mingchi stated that Apple is expected to announce 'AirPods 3' and 'Apple Watch Series 7' together at the Special Event. However, he also hinted at the possibility that Apple might leave the option of 'AirPods 2' for customers alongside the redesigned AirPods 3.
Apple will hold the event at 10 a.m. (local time) on the 14th at its headquarters in Cupertino, California, USA. The new iPhone 13 series and AirPods 3 are expected to be unveiled at this event.
