Off topic, but are you still on 9.0 for any particular reason? If you're not jailbreaking, 9.2.1 and soon to be released 9.3 are far better than 9.0.
Correct, I'm purposely on 9.0 because I am jailbroken (and loving it). In fact, I purposely bought a 6S Plus with 9.0-9.0.1 only so I could be so.
Out of curiosity, what features in 9.2.1 are far better than 9.0?

It's not so much the features of 9.2.1. More so the performance is improved. And greatly improved with 9.3.

But with the inevitable jailbreak release for 9.3 soon it won't matter and you'll probably update anyways to the latest jailbreak I'm sure.

To me, my 6S+ is the fastest, most responsive phone I've ever owned, and I get a day and 1/2 to nearly 2 days before low battery now, so I can't imagine what 9.3 will be if performance has improved. C'mon 9.3 JB

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program...

I'm in a quite similar situation, with 37 Gb of free storage on my 64 Gb model ....

I would be happy with a 32 Gb iPhone, TBH.
 
My next iPhone will be Mac storage available. My 32gb is already running out of space... Music alone takes up more than 16gb.
 
You have too much data for the 16GB iPhone, so you made the right choice.

What do most people do with 39GB of data? Most store photos, videos, and music on their phone and prefer local copies instead of streaming.

All my music is in Google Play, controlled directly by my iTunes library on my Mac. Add, delete, change playlists on the Mac, gets pushed to Google Play. The only thing taking up space for music is the Google Play app that streams my entire library back to me.

Not availaible when there is no wifi or cellular of course, but I live in Phoenix so the chance of not having a connection is pretty non-existant.

Call me old-fashioned, but I can't seem to jump onto music streaming bandwagon. I like to have my music stored directly on my computer / phone lol

I got you. Everyone is different and having all your music on the device is what works for you.

I'd probably be a little different if I hadn't started my iTunes library way back in OS9 on iTunes 2 or so. Just always seemed since that point easier to have my library on one device and access it from elsewhere when I needed it. But again, that's just me.
