Apple Doubles iPhone Storage to 16GB. No 3G.

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

iphone 16gb It is official. Apple is now selling a new iPhone with double the storage, a bump from 8GB to 16GB. The 16GB model fetches for $499, with the 8GB model is still at $399.

Is it enough? While the limited 8GB storage was a factor in holding some people back, myself included, will the lack of 3G still keep people from buying one?

I outgrew my iPod Nano before I even owned it, so doubling its capacity would be a big deal for me. I’ve never really been annoyed with the speed of EDGE on my blackberry, I am usually around a WiFi connection, so it may be time for me to snag one of these bad boys.

Apple also announced a new iPod touch.

iPod touch now comes in a 32GB model for $499, joining the 16GB model for $399 and the 8GB model for $299. from apple.com/pr
