Just curious how many original iPhone 6s/ 6s plus 16GB owners have been able to stick with the 16GB and how many have switched or have a switch imminent.
 
Had 16gb on my 6, went to 64gb this time. Could have squeaked by but I like to have the extra space for photos / videos. I still have about 45gb free.

To be honest, 32GB is the sweet spot here. Gone up to 64 from the 6+.
 
I went from a 16 gb 6+ to an 8 gb 5c to a 64gb 6. Much easier to deal with. 16gb was bad, 8 gb was horrible, the phone had very little apps on it, and the 64gb, I haven't even checked the memory available, which was a every other day occurrence on the other 2
 
Went from 16GB 5S to 64 GB 6S+

Don't think I could ever go back to constantly running out of space, though 32GB would probably work for me.
 
16gb 6S+ here, no music on my phone, photos/videos all backed up to Google Photos so I delete them off the iPhone, barely use any apps apart from the usual stuff everyone uses (social network stuff etc).

Basically I am fine with 16gb, I would be happier if it was 32gb though...
 
I always used to purchase the 16GB model since I typically delete the majority of photos that I take with my phone. However, starting with the 6, I went with the 64GB and haven't looked back. It's nice to not have to constantly see how much photos/videos, iMessages, and other apps are taking up when I have plenty of space available.
 
Stuck with 16gb most of my stuff stored in cloud storage so didn't see the point in paying more money for 64gb
 
I went to 64 because it was available vs a 16 gb. Easier to live with 64. Don't look at space anymore

I had to micro manage my storage with 16gb. So I bought a 64gb iPhone and iPad. Just easier for me.
 
My wife and I got the 16GB 6S. Realised I missed the plus size so I switched to the 16GB 6S plus. She followed suit! Then after seeing how good the video was I thought it was time to upgrade to 64GB. Wife followed and did the same haha. So we both have the 64GB 6S plus now and I can't see us ever going back to 16GB. Having all our photos on the device is great and just not having to worry about storage is nice. 16GB is doable though. I managed for years with 16GB but you do have to keep an eye on things and manage your storage wisely. Let's just hope this is the last iPhone to offer 16GB as the minimum...
