A dubious iPhone 15 Pro Max rumor that stresses a 2 TB storage option

There will allegedly be a new storage tier added to the iPhone 15 Pro Max (also known as the iPhone 15 Ultra). It will cost RMB 20,000 (US$2,906) in China and offer up to 2 TB of storage. With the iPhone 15 series, there is a lot to be excited about. Most notably, it signals the debut of USB-C connectors, solid-state buttons, the 3 nm A17 Bionic (now with a second co-processor), a telephoto camera, and much more. Yet according to a hazy Weibo rumor, Apple has yet another little but significant change planned for the iPhone 15 Pro versions. Photo Credit: What Hi-Fi? Depending on who you ask, Apple intends to increase the maximum storage capacity on the iPhone 15 Pro Max (or iPhone 15 Ultra) to 2 TB. The extravagantly equipped model is expected to cost RMB 20,000 (US$2,906). Compared to the 1 TB iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is offered for RMB 13,000 (US$1,890) on JD.com, a well-known Chinese e-commerce website, that price is roughly 53% higher. The aforementioned version will easily cross the US$2,000 threshold if rumors regarding its US$1,800 asking price for the 1 TB edition are true.

On the basis of what we now know, that appears implausible. Most likely, Apple will restrict the 2 TB storage level to the iPhone 15 Ultra/Pro Max in order to further set it apart from the rest of the range. The aforementioned information is untrue as usual and needs to be viewed with particular skepticism, especially when it originates from a source that is not widely known.
