A bump in iPhone storage is coming, but Apple already made it irrelevant to me

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-25 23:15:36

We were already expecting higher iPhone prices this year, but it now seems that one of the four models will get a bump in storage in return. That’s always welcome, of course, but a move Apple made two years ago already made it irrelevant to me … iPhone 17 Pro storage bump With Apple facing import tariffs on iPhones manufactured in China, it had always seemed likely that it was going to pass on at least some of these costs to iPhone buyers. My own guess back in May was a $50 price raise, and a

wired.com Simon Hill 2025-11-28 18:00:00

Whether you want to keep tabs on your kids, package deliveries, or pets when you’re away from home, security cameras and video doorbells are an affordable and easy way to do so. But there’s one important question to settle before deciding on your ideal home security setup: Where will you store those videos? Cloud convenience can be perfect for some, while others may prefer to keep things local and subscription-free. I’ve been testing security cameras and video doorbells for many years now, and

Dropbox announces new gen server hardware for higher efficiency and scalability

Fourteen years ago, Dropbox took its first steps toward building its own hardware infrastructure—and as our product and user base has grown, so has our infrastructure. What started with just a handful of servers has evolved into one of the largest custom-built storage systems in the world.

The end is near for flagships with a meagre 128GB storage

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-04 04:06:19

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro may start at 256GB of internal storage, eliminating the older 128GB option. A $50 price increase is expected alongside the bumped-up base storage tier. Apple’s move could pressure remaining Android flagships, such as the Galaxy S and Pixel lineups, to ditch low-storage models and finally start at 256GB. Android flagships have long moved to higher storage options, with many offering as much as 1TB of storage. While external stora

What happens to your files when you stop paying your cloud storage subscription?

In brief: The end of a cloud storage subscription does not immediately erase your files, but it does set a countdown clock in motion. Timelines and policies differ, but the underlying risk is the same: unless quick action is taken to download, move, or delete files, the content may eventually be lost for good.
