In the early morning of September 10, Apple held a 2024 autumn new product launch conference, at which the iPhone 16 series, Apple Watch Series 10 and new AirPods products were launched. Among them, the most popular was undoubtedly the new iPhone 16 series.

After the press conference, Apple also announced the different versions and prices of the new products on its official website in China. What is unexpected is that on the iPhone 16 Pro purchase page, the entry-level model is still the 128GB version, priced at 7,999 yuan. It’s 2024, and a 128GB version is still available on a flagship model priced at more than 7,000 yuan. This really proves Cook’s catchphrase “Only Apple Can Do”.

From the domestic prices announced by Apple, it can be found that the reason why the iPhone 16 Pro series launched the 128GB version is probably just to keep its price the same as the previous generation. Considering that the configuration gap between this year’s Pro version and Pro Max version is not too large, the main differences are in screen size and battery, so the price difference between the two versions with the same storage is only 1,000 yuan. However, the problem of excessive price differences between different storage versions, which has been repeatedly complained about before, still exists. Excluding the 128GB version of the Pro version, the price difference between different storage versions is as high as 2,000 yuan. Once again, people doubt whether “Apple’s storage is made of gold.”
