The Next Flagship iPhone Will Support Apple Pencil and 512GB Flash Storage, Says Report (appleinsider.com)
Next month, Apple is expected to unveil three new iPhones, each with differing specs/features. According to analyst firm Trendforce, the large 6.5-inch "flagship" model will support up to 512GB of onboard flash storage. Apple Pencil support will also be "offered as an option," although the company didn't specify which models will support the stylus. Apple Insider reports: The company expects that the the 6.1-inch LCD version will come with Face ID, Dual-SIM technology. The firm expects it to retail for between $699 and $749. The 5.8-inch OLED iPhone will be priced at $899 to $949. The 6.5-inch device will come in storage capacities up to 512GB, with one variant of the size potentially having dual-SIM support and expected to be "limited within $1,000 threshold as to encourage purchasing from consumers," according to Trendforce. Both the 5.8- and 6.5-inch OLED models are expected to have 4GB of RAM. The 6.1-inch LED devices will have 3GB of RAM, the same as the iPhone X. The analyst firm believes that all three models are expected to ship in September and October.
Do you think it will have Graffiti input?
I should hope so. One would hate to think of that ancient and noble skill being lost to the dust of history. Why who better to carry it but apple? It only took them 20 years to get SSD, 10 to get wireless charging, and decent water proofing of the Iphone. Maybe, just maybe, they can finally get more than 3 GB of memory and 2 cores.

what makes you think they're supporting SD cards? it just said 512G of onboard flash, not removable..
This is a very good question. If it is removable one would think apple will probably dream up its own propitiatory bullshit type instead of going with the standard. After all can't have the sheep wandering off the ranch.

Apple still sells lots of 5SE phones, brand new, because of the number of people who just don't want or can't hold comfortably the larger phones. I wish they'd take those brisk sales numbers as a hint and make an updated phone with those dimensions.
Serious question. If it can't be stored IN the phone, they failed.

Bring out a new iPhone and charge $1000 for it.

"Onboard" is the opposite of "removable", because it's on the board. It's what Apple and other phone manufacturers have been using in their phones since day one. The information they are trying to impart in that sentence is the capacity, the fact that it's onboard is not news, it's entirely normal and expected. It's like they said "and it's got an XXX capacity battery charged with electricity" and you are somehow taking away from that sentence that being charged with electricity is a new detail, rather than the capacity.
Same here. Palm really did nail that. I still have graffiti in muscle memory and its been close to 10 years since I used a palm. When I'm using a stylus I sometimes find myself writing in graffiti. Would have been nice if palm would have open sourced graffiti and it was a recognized standard on every stylus device.

The Apple iPhone Note.
Why, does it hold explosive features?
