MacRumors reports this may increase the price of the next iPhone - https://www.macrumors.com/2021/08/26/iphone-13-price-increas...

Lots of “reportedly”, “may”, “could” in there, of course.

(I’m linking that article since the original DigiTimes article is paywalled, and this article quotes from it.)

That might be the reason for rumours of higher storage (1tb). An excuse to charge 30% more to not only offset increased costs but to increase profit margins.
