256GB iPhone 6s to be available soon?

16GB of storage on an iPhone is not really enough. That’s why Apple has decided to make the lowest option on iPhone 7 32GB. However, many iPhone 6s owners still have to be stuck with only 16GB of storage to spare. Of course, they can use cloud storage, and there are many options now, from very cheap (Apple iCloud) to even free ones (Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.). However, having a large enough storage is still more comfortable. That need gives birth to the iPhone expansion industry. Recently, it seems that the iPhone 6s 16GB can indeed be expanded to 256GB!

GeekBar from China recently revealed that they have successfully expanded an iPhone 6s from 16GB to 256GB. We won’t go into technical details here, but basically the original storage chip of iPhone 6s 16GB is removed with an outside 256GB one. Then, you will have a 256GB iPhone 6s! After the expansion, and the phone successfully recognize the new flash storage, the real available capacity of the phone is 247.66GB, since the system files will take some space after all.

That sounds good and all, but are there any risks to this method? Well, firstly, changing the original component with a third party one may lead to the device not recognizing the new component, making the phone basically useless. Furthermore, even though GeekBar has shared that Apple is not likely to ban this method, they still can, and it is advisable for people to use this method to keep the original storage chip, so they can revert back to cut the loss. Overall, use this method with cautions!
