Apple officially ends the 64GB storage era, all iPhones/iPads start at 128GB
With Apple launching the iPhone 16e and a number of new iPads and discontinuing some products, it officially eliminated the 64GB storage version. All iPhone and iPad products on sale are equipped with a minimum of 128GB storage, marking the end of Apple’s 64GB storage era.
Previously, Apple still provided 64GB storage versions, including the third-generation iPhone SE and the tenth-generation iPad, but with the discontinuation of these two devices, Apple has fully entered the storage era of starting with 128GB. Their successors, the iPhone 16e and the new iPad equipped with the A16 chip, both have cancelled the 64GB version, with 128GB becoming the minimum storage specification. For consumers, this means that even if you choose an entry-level device, you can get more storage space without worrying about the premature storage impact of the phone or tablet.

Judging from the pictures displayed, the design of Meizu 22 is completely different from the previous generation model Meizu 21. Meizu 22 adopts a brand new octagonal design, giving people a “gossip” feeling, the overall shape is more unique and the R-angle is more rounded. In contrast, Meizu 21 uses a vertical three-camera module, and the design styles of the two have no similarities. In terms of configuration, combined with existing revelations, the Meizu 22 series will continue Meizu’s usual large and small screen design, and it is expected to launch at least two models, named Meizu 22 and Meizu 22 Pro respectively. The classic white front panel design will also continue to be preserved. In addition, the new phone will also support satellite communications and artificial intelligence models to further improve the user experience.
