Apple is just a month away from the launch of the iPhone 14 series. However, there is a lot of speculation about the expected upgrades, price and specs and it is creating a lot of confusion. A new leak about the expected storage variant of the new lineup suggests that the iPhone 14 Pro model will start its base model variant from 128GB storage as was the case with iPhone 13. As shared by MacRumors, research firm TrendForce suggested that iPhone 14 Pro models could get a storage booster with base model starting from 256GB, but this theory looks to have been trashed by the latest leak.

Though he had earlier stated that iPhone 14 Pro models' storage would start from 256GB, but now he has added a 128GB variant to his specs chart for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
