Apple seems to keep 128 GB in reserve till the model drops to the base of the lineup. For example, the iPhone 8 is now available w/128GB at $499. Before today, it was available w/256 GB at $749. The 64 GB model dropped in price by $150 from $599 to $449.

Refurb pricing on the iPhone 8 is now $379 (64GB) / $509 (256 GB).

Because the 128 a sweet spot and most people don't have a need for more. The 64 size is just enough to push most intensive users over the hump and in to iCloud subscriptions. I'm sure Apple has all the analytics on how much space is being used by their users and how much iCloud subscriptions would take a hit with an 128 offering.

Except I just noticed the new 11 is available in all three sizes (64/128/256).

Whatever, this doesn't bother me so much about their phones. The non-upgradable storage in their laptops is a much bigger issue.
