Even money. Apple only went from 8 gb to 16 as the minimum with the 4s. Since they have 3 tiers of memory pricing, they'll have to be able to a) fit 128gb of flash memory in their phones, for b) a high enough profit margin thats acceptable to them.
Possible, but not likely.Does anyone else think that the iphone 5s might come standard in 32gb considering that the iphone might also come in colors like the new itouch? The Itouch also comes standard in 32 gb...
Apple went to 16GB standard more than 2 years before the 4S.

Possible, but not likely.
16GB is still largely sufficient for people. I'm a pretty hardcore nerdy user. 144 apps, 3 folders of games, a couple of playlists stored locally. And I still have 3.9GB free on my 16GB iPhone 5...
All the more casual users out there? Apple would be foolish to abandon the 16GB model and the profit margin they rake in on it.

Yes, that might be true. I am a tech reviewer and know for a fact that the iPhone 5S and the iPad 5 will definitely come in 128 GB capacity, which means that the 16GB models are likely to be removed.
Wow, here's Best Buy still selling the 8gb iPhone 4.:

What model did Apple sell between the 4 and 4s?
The document is dated June 8, 2009, date is even in the URL, it's the 3GS launch press release. You can see that for yourself. You can argue with reality all you want... but uhhh... not interested in that argument. Have fun.Wow, here's Best Buy still selling the 8gb iPhone 4.:

What model did Apple sell between the 4 and 4s? Wow, I guess Apple made a bunch of special, lower capacity 4 models just for Best Buy. I guess AT&T must have taken out half the flash before they sold my wife her 8gb iPhone 3gs! Dirty, thieving crooks! To not be a total douche, I wouldn't be surprised if your link was Apple or a retailer selling the 3GS after the 4 had been announced or introduced. The 16gb on the 3gs you linked to was just a temporary aberration until the 4s was introduced.
And I agree with you on the 16 gb part. Of course, it helps if you've also got an iPad to store videos on. Had to clear out some free app clutter that was on my 32 gb iPhone 4s, but quite doable.

In other news... I sure hope they ditch the 16GB model in favor of a 32-gig base model. I was amped for a 128 top end but I can't/haven't filled my 64 yet. As I arrange more music and bring it into itunes it will grow and maybe I will need 128 one day.
16 GB isn't the most popular because people want exactly 16 GB - it's the most popular because it's the cheapest. If/when the difference in cost between the 16 and 32 GB chip falls below some threshold, Apple will up the minimum size to 32 GB. I'm not sure exactly what that threshold is, but I can assure you that it is set to maximize Apple's projected profit margin.

I'd like to see the proof that the next iPhone will be 128GB. I think with Apple pushing iCloud, there will not be a larger capacity iPhone.
