The continued prevalence of 128GB storage on flagship phones has been getting on my nerves for a while. Not just because 128GB doesn't scream "premium" anymore, but also because it just isn't enough space to store the contents of a modern phone without offloading a bunch of it to the cloud.
Phone makers have been slowly removing the 128GB option from their most expensive phones, but now it looks like the era of 128GB as the "standard" option may be over. And it's all thanks to Apple and the launch of iPhone 17.
