Everyone realizes that the iPhone 16 Pro product line with 128GB memory is not worthy, but why does Apple still produce it?

Apple announced the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro with unchanged prices, but the technology group still caused great disappointment for iFans (Apple product lovers).
Apple still offers a 128GB iPhone 16 Pro version for the Pro product line, which i
s considered by technology experts to be completely unworthy, like selling a Ferrari sports car but equipped with a lawn mower engine.
Is 128GB storage compatible with iPhone 16 Pro?

128GB of memory is really too little for a modern iPhone Pro because the applications on the
App Store are taking up more and more storage space, typically if users download photo editing applications, videos, 3D games... your phone 's memory space will quickly fill up.

4K video recording mode has been integrated on the iPhone 16 Pro, allowing users to shoot
4K footage at 120 frames per second - which requires a lot of space (one minute of video at this quality can weigh up to 400MB).
Let's do some math, with an iPhone 16 Pro with 128GB of memory, if recording video at 4K resolution, users can only record for about 2.5 hours. Experts say this is not worthy of the name "Pro".
In addition, Apple's proprietary iOS operating system takes up a large amount of space and each update will take up more memory space;
especially with the Apple Intelligence feature, low memory space will cause this feature to not work optimally.
Caches from apps like Spotify, Netflix, Facebook, or Instagram also accumulate temporary data; it adds to your storage.
That's why the iPhone 16 Pro 128GB has become the most controversial product today.
A marketing strategy

The iPhone Pro version always attracts a lot of attention from users (Photo: Contributor).
According to technology experts, the iPhone 16 Pro 128GB version is really just a marketing strategy of Apple.
This allows the tech giant to announce a lower starting price for the Pro model, in order to attract customers.
This is a calculation.
Users will quickly feel frustrated and be forced to upgrade to a higher version the next time they buy, or consider between the 128GB version and the higher version.
And this may be exactly what Apple wants.
Therefore, if you are considering buying an iPhone 16 Pro for nearly 29 million VND (according to Apple's listed price in the Vietnamese market), users should consider skipping the 128GB version to avoid future troubles such as constantly having to clean up memory, delete photos, files, applications to free up storage space...
With that amount of money, users can find a different iPhone model from the previous generation, with larger storage space, or there are many other options that also bring an equally interesting experience, if it is an Android phone.
