Mobile phone repair shops in China have started offering iPhone storage upgrade services, reports the WSJ. Customers can upgrade their iPhones from 16GB to 128GB for about ¥ 550.00 ($87 USD).

Mobile phone repair shops in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai have sparked curiosity on sidewalks and social media by offering the service, which appears aimed at the many aspirational Chinese device users who can’t afford the roughly $200 premium attached to large-capacity iPhones.

This shop on Taobao.com is offering service for both iPhone and iPad.

While Apple's $100 bump for each storage level has always come at a high price, we don't suggest users utilize any of these services as they will definitely void your warranty.

If I actually bought a 16gb and paid only $649 for it this would be awesome and I'd look more into it, but being that I don't have to have the newest shit right when it comes out, I was able to get my 128gb 6 plus for $600 used:D
