With how the iPhone manages storage, 16GB is a major problem. I don't know a single iPhone user on a 16GB model, that's had it for 18 months, that doesn't routinely complain about out of storage issues, even after they "delete everything." I believe that storage management is a major focus for the next iOS release according to rumors.
i feel like you posted this exact same message before
Photos and videos on the 6 and 6s are a much higher quality, though. And apps, especially if you have games, are getting bigger and bigger.

I feel ashamed of my 8 GB on iPhone 4, but I survived.
16 GB sounds godly to me.

Your feeling is correct:
It'll do everything for you pretty quickly.
Don't do it to yourself man, go with the 64. 16 is a joke.

Not only that but whatever iPhone you bought is $100 cheaper today.
Send it to me, and I'll set it up for you, then ship it back between now and never.
How did you do it? I've had the 16GB 5S for 2 years and I constantly have to delete stuff to take pics or download things. I'm getting the 128GB, since I'm sure I'm going to use it for the next 2 years if not more.
You can buy an iPhone outright that's locked to AT&T.
Sweet, thanks.
4K video aka "rip 16gb users"
I always assume people with storage issues at 16gb either take a ton more photos videos than I do or keep a large local music collection. I only have podcasts, games and a couple photos on my phone. Music I just stream and 99% of the photos I take are garbage and get deleted shortly afterwards. Meanwhile the wife has I think 9 pictures and one video of some ducklings and complains about storage on a 64gb.

What's the point of 4k video recording if only one portable device and 0 devices in the apple world outside of a 4k display can display it properly?
If only they released a product with a 5k resolution so we could truly play with the footage...
Also if the phone is capable of 4k why wouldn't we want that option?
Do people just delete the local copy of their photos off the phone after the photos have been backed up to the cloud ? I have Google Photos, iCloud and OneDrive for backup. I think I can delete the photos locally... still feel a little unsafe though.
If you use iCloud to store your photos you can choose to keep only the optimized version on the phone.
lol I'm going from a 16GB 4S to a 64 or 128GB 6S+. Dis gon b gud.
Also, it's pretty alarming to see Apple distancing themselves more and more from black bezels. I would have preferred Rose Gold with black bezel or Silver with black bezel. Fucking everyone has Space Gray and it's the only one with black.
64 is even too little. Down to my last 20gbs on my 128. I have unlimited data too.
Where is the 256 or option to add your own storage?

Did they change the material of the body?
Built with extra sexy this time.
We NASA space aluminum now.
Yes, to 7000 series aluminum, whatever that means (same as apple watch)

Yeah, music does it for me since I don't stream. Also have a decent number of pictures.
It means it's not yet over 9,000.

Strange that they kept 16GB with the improved camera and increased pic/vid sizes.
The decrease in iCloud fees is nice but they are basically forcing 16GBers to use the service.

Glad they decided to keep the RAM at 1GB, the screen at sub 1080p, and the current storage configurations.
Should help keep the price down oh wait fuck you. $650.

It's not strange at all. Having everyone feel compelled to upgrade to at least 64GB is making them money hand over fist. And the people who don't are still paying $650 for a 16GB phone in 2015.
It's shitty is what it is.
No mention.
Not confirmed. Every leak pointed to 2GB.

Nice, hopefully this will motivate some sucker to sell me his or hers iP6. My splintered iPhone4 is a wreck

16 GB is a joke. With live photos and 4K video, that's gonna be gone real quick. Why even offer a 16 GB version??
Do you ever post without jumping to assumptions and prefacing everything with a 'fuck you'?

I think they'd publish that information on a phone they've already started taking pre-orders for. No excuse for it to not be listed with the rest of the specs. If they were bumping the RAM, it'd have been mentioned.
What, are they going to announce all the features in one announcement and then have a second announcement to reveal the RAM? Come the fuck on.

Why? It isn't like any video or photo I take on my phone stays on my phone. My phone memory is a simple medium until it is uploaded to the cloud. Everything is streamed.
16gb is plenty until games start taking up more space.
Pre-orders have not started yet. That is on the 12th. You will know your RAM number by then.

They've *never* mentioned RAM on iOS devices. We go through this every time they release a new one
