No one is saying keep 50% free. You do the math, 10% is 12.8 GB, a nice healthy amount of space for over the air updates and decompression. Have fun when iOS 9 comes around the bend. It's really in your best interest mate.

No problem with my 6Plus 128GB - which is just 2 weeks old today. I just received my wife's 6Plus 128GB (which is a Christmas Present) so I hope this isn't a problem!
500+ apps? Good grief, how can you even remember what you have installed and what they are for?
Right....
I have the 128GB space gray iPhone 6 and haven't had any issues, but I also have FAR less than 500 apps installed. Honestly, I bought the phone with this much storage so I could keep a good sized music library on it -- not hundreds of apps. (How can you even find what you need when you've got that much stuff loaded on it?? The automatic updates much be constantly chugging too, at that point.)

I have this issue
64GB iphone 6
tried to upgrade to ios 8.1 and it just kept booting.. saw the apple logo then the red screen.. It's sort of ironically funny because my 2011 MBP just had the graphics card issue 2 weeks ago and boots into a blue screen.. So I have one red defective screen and one blue defective screen..
I think I'm going insane.... The worst thing about all this is my 2007 MBP also died because of graphics issues. My iPod colour, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4S have been the only products that haven't failed.. thats 3/6 50% success rate..
Anyways without a phone for now so I guess I'll be heading into the apple store as soon as i can.
Edit: I also have an iPad and Apple TV so 5/8... Also just ordered a new MBP I hope I'm not a fool

I have the same problem, Spotify, CarPlay, SpringBoard.. etc. At least I'm not getting stuck at the apple logo.
Ditto, but about 30 GB free. (Have about 6 GB free on the 128 GB iPad Air and Air 2, no problems...so far).
Interesting. I'll bet with enough dihedral and a moderate headwind I could get a 6+ to return.
There were plenty of issues with Steve at the helm; some much larger than this.
The company is so much bigger now that even the smallest issues are making headlines. That comes with the territory of being the most visible and profitable company in the world. It's up to journalists and astute readers to put it all into perspective... though sadly, there seems to be fewer and fewer of those every year.
There's so much blind defending of Apple here.
For the people who are stepping up to the plate for Apple, without knowing all of the statistics or the facts, you realize that failure to hold Apple responsible for these problems is contributing to the core issue of declining quality in Apple products in recent years, correct?
Repeatedly saying "Oh, it's not a problem!" or "Only a small group of people are experiencing it, so the problem doesn't exist!" is doing nothing but making these issues more acceptable in the public eye, which means Apple has less incentive to fix them.
Get angry. Make noise. Apple is not infallible. Stop treating them like they are.

You know who might know? Apple.
Chances are good they are studying it and seeing what the overall issue is. Last thing we need is some press conference like the iPhone 4 antennagate press conference.

I haven't had that kind of issue but iOS 8.1 does seem to be a bit buggier than usual. I mainly have camera issues that require closing out the app to solve. I've had a soft-boot here and there but nothing that keeps me from enjoying it.

Jumping to conclusions and assuming that it's a hardware issue that affects ALL iPhone 6 Pluses is doing nothing to help either.
If you have an issue, report it to Apple or take it into the closest Apple store. Blathering on and on about it on the internet does nothing.
