Indeed. I went with the 128, I figured it may have better resale value later anyway.
Definitely. $100 is a lot if you think about it, but not when 64GB is $849. Apple's profit margins are insane.
I agree. I'd love to see their reasoning behind them... I'm sure it's purely profit-based.
Purely profit. They make their money back and then some on the "s" variants. Pretty smart imo. $949 for a phone is insane, but the only reason I'm getting it is because I don't want a 128GB iPad Air 2. I don't like the iPads.
Now that Apple Music is super integrated, most people won't need 64GB. I have a feeling iPhone 7 will still have a 16GB as a base model.
I wouldn't be surprised if 16GB stays. It certainly doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.
Definitely. Apple looks at the bottom line now, it's just another tech company - a good one.
The people who will need 64GB and 128GB are niche. I really doubt many people use these phones like me, I load them up with FLAC files and use the Apple Lightning to USB cable to connect to my Amp + Headphones. It works magically.
In my experience, the smaller the storage, the better the resale value as a percentage of original price, actually.
I agree with this...
I bought 128G but I am currently using about 32G without trying to save space, so I should have probably just got the 64G model.
Indeed, so only really consider storage space in terms of what you need. People are not willing to pay the same increments for storage space second hand as new, so the resulting price will inevitably be comparatively lower.
I just moved from 64 gb 5s to 128 gb 6s+ ... I am lazy and keep a bunch of music on my phone plus over time pictures grow up to several gb's.
I now have another 55 gb to grow plus can stick several movies etc onto it for the occasional long flights.
With the only minor price difference to me it's a no brainer to max out on storage.
I've had the 64gb since release and just bought a 128gb off swappa because i was running out of space. Don't think I'll go below 128 again because I like the majority of my music stored on the phone.
I'm very happy with my switch to 128 I was able to download my entire music library and still have 57gb free 
It will in the general sense of the word but not when compared to initial investment. Might get $25 -50 dollars more over a 64gb.
It's a good choice for the type of media you are using though.
I had the 6 64GB and like it, wanted to wait until iPhone 7 but passing on the 6 to a family member.
I probably will wait for the iPhone 7s.
As far as resale goes you get the most out of the additional storage the sooner it's sold. Once the 7S is out is when you only get around 20 dollars more for initial 100 dollar investment.
You also forget that you're using this device every day, so you're also gaining that aspect of it in value.
