Im not a massive memory user but kind of thinking ahead. If the resale value reflected initial cost then it would be a no brainer but it doesn't. After 2 years of owning the resale price isn't much different between the different sizes. I really don't want to give apple anymore profit but kind of thinking for future use. grrrr :((

I agree with everything that you say above. However, I think that 32GB is the new 16GB, especially when you consider the video camera quality of today's smartphones.

Throw some music, some photos and shoot some video and you are pretty close to hitting 16GB.
 
The 1080p video burns through memory.

My wife who has no games, no music and next to no apps had to clear down space on her 16gb to update to ios 7.

32gb.
 
I vote 64gb - I had 32gb and it was ok but after music and photos I only had 5 gig left over. With the 64gb I can download all the apps I want and not have to worry.
 
Should also say. If you have music then go for 64. But if you use iTunes Match then 32 will do.

Actually. Get the 32 and buy iTunes Match. Cheaper than upgrading to the 64. :)
