Let’s talk about storage. If the next iPhone has 32 gigabytes of ram at the max, I won’t be surprised. The iPhone has been maxed at 32 GBs since the 3GS was released in 2009 so it’s really hard to realize that, in 2012 we’ll still be at the same ceiling. However, I believe iCloud and iTunes in the cloud will mean storage is\u00a0re imagined\u00a0on our iOS devices. Already, I don’t use all 64 gigabytes of storage that’s available on my iPad and it’s nice having all of your music with you but it’s not that important anymore when you can fire up iTunes or Spotify and play any song every made via the web. I may be wrong but Apple is enjoying the cost savings of that $5 in Flash price built into every iPhone compared to the pennies it costs them to deliver data via the web. 32 Gigabytes is great for a mobile phone. I got by with a 64 gigabyte SSD on my MacBook Air and iPad and, once you realize that you don’t have to have EVERYTHING with you, 32\/64 Gbs feels HUGE.<\/div>\n

I think we all assume this will be iPhone 5. I have my doubts that Apple will continue their current numbering process. We’ll have to see though. Maybe some of my guesses will be right but most will be wrong. I have no more insight than your average rumor site. I’m just a guy with a blog.
