About time.
I've been struggling with my 64 GB iPhone 5 since I've had it.

Retina apps and games and good quality music take up so much space these days.

128 GB should be more than enough for me though. I could wait a long time for 256 GB of stuff in my pocket.

Interesting set of leaks. Seems likely they're all legitimate or all fake together. Given the previous NAND one didn't make sense, I'm leaning towards fake.

1M too short....when will be 5M will be ok to be released

I'd take 1m over nothing while they continue to improve range. Especially if the range improvements will work on devices that already have the 1m technology and just need an updated base station.

Apple hoses consumers on the price they charge for RAM. They do it on all of their devices and have made it virtually impossible to add RAM after purchase save for the Mac Pro. I wish they'd allow external RAM ...like a Samsung ....there, I said it.... and let the consumer add RAM as needed.
:cool:

Why should they have 16GB then 64 then 128 missing the 32GB option?
Either they'll offer 16,32,64 and 128 or 32, 64, 128

Couldn't agree more!

What is with people and wireless charging? It's so gimmicky. Unless I can charge my phone while still moving about a room with my phone in my pocket, I couldn't care less.

Exactly. Today to charge your iPhone you need a ~$25 dollar Lightning cable/USB charger combo...and people gripe endlessly on the expense of this setup. How much will this magical wireless charging pad-looking thing cost....$129? $99? No matter what the price, people will complain. And you won't have nearly the ubiquity in charging. Throw a Lightning cable in your bag and you can almost be sure you can vampire some electricity somewhere. To be sure, toss in the fun-size candy bar USB charger and you're set. Let's move on people....

Awesome, I hope it drops the price of the 64gb version, since that's what I need. And I do hope they drop the 16gb.

I'm kinda the same now.

I went up to 32GB on my 5S, mainly due to it "only" being £69 more than the 16GB.

However, if 64 becomes the new 32 I'd be up for that.

Out of interest (& slightly O/T), does anyone know how much space syncing Spotify takes?

I have a Premium account and make some playlists available offline (@ 320Kbps), so I'm wondering if the jump to 64 gig would be worth it, to allow me to make more/all of my playlists available offline.

Anyway, roll on September! :D

I'm going to be seriously angry if the base is 16gb; that is just not enough space...especially for such an expensive phone.

Looking forward to not having to worry about allocating my storage space sparingly. Had a 16GB iPhone 4, now a 32GB iPhone 5, and soon I'll be getting the 64GB iPhone 6, but only if it's $300 with a contract.

It's not a gimmick. Not if you've had the opportunity to actually use a phone as your daily driver and use the feature. It's like setting it down on a table when not in use only it's charging instead of draining.

Once apple gets it in their phone you will understand.

I'm going for 32GB but regardless...this is going to be one expensive year. iPad Air 2, iPhone 6...why Apple why?!?!? Why must you make me broke :p

Same. I'd gladly take 1M over nothing. Specially if it can do multiple devices simultaneously. Even better if it can charge multiple devices while using them as long as you're within range.

64?

I would much prefer wireless charging over 128GB. Then again, as long as there is an Apple logo on the phone I am certain it'll sell.

Seriously? Wireless is utterly pointless... so instead of a tiny cable you need a special Pad or something - that is still plugged into the wall? And it requires a coil and charging circuit in the phone making it larger. And it's only 80% efficient and slower... something apple won't do. Well not yet

No the most important thing is the future batteries that are coming in a few years. 20x batteries with almost instant charging
