Given that the two go hand in hand I really don't see what difference it makes how it is put. But that's just me. 😉

32GB - the new standard for the iPhone 5?

Maybe the higher your phone capacity, the more likely you are to go over the 5 GB limit for free iCloud backup storage. That would result in more people paying for iCloud storage, and Apple would have an increased income stream to counter their higher BOM cost.

I don't, I convert videos. But I carry office documents which are not native iOS files.
I never said native iOS files. That is nonsense anyway. Doesn't mean anything.
You carry office document because there is an app that can deal with that file type. If I send you anything else, you WILL NOT be able to store it, period. Downloading is another huge fail which I'm not even talking about.
I hope it is the new standard....I regret trying to save money and going with a 16gb 4s.....this time I'm getting the largest model.
I think they will stay with 64gb as their top model. My friend works at a Rogers retail store. The 16 and 32 gb models are by far the most popular. They can't give away their 64gb models.

Considering that I'm almost out of storage space on my 64GB IPod Touch and completely OUT of space on my 32GB iPhone 4S, I'm REALLY hoping that they finally up the ante and give us a 128GB option considering that I'm sure the memory would be well enough affordable for Apple to implement. I'm tired of carrying around both a touch and an IPhone and want to just have an iPhone as my main music/Camera device but I'd need 128, make it happen Apple!
They won't go hand in hand forever. Eventually, $199 will get you 32. The question is when (which is the point of this thread.)

The 4S camera is really pushing my 16GB (is all I need) philosophy. I have less than 40 apps, 500 songs, and don't take that many pics but I've been having to delete some stuff lately. This is the first phone I've run in to this problem.
I don't think this will happen but I would love it.

How many photos and/or videos do you have in your Camera Roll? I have the 64GB 4S right now, and I'm looking to downgrade to the 16GB this time.

Maybe around 200 (ish). And I'm guessing a combined total of 20 minutes of video.

That's what I said, I can store files supported by apps I use. Never said otherwise. Besides, I have no need for other files. No idea what you're going on about.

As someone who knows something about technology.. That would never happen. Just not how it works, you post gave me a chuckle though!
2x2= 4GB
4x2 = 8GB
8x2 = 16GB
16x2 = 32GB
32x2 = 64GB
64x2 = 128GB
128x2 = 256GB
256x2 = 512GB
512x2 = 1024GB = 1TB
Get the trend? It goes in multiples of two thats how it works.
Bites, bytes, etc.

Not necessarily, depends on addressing and firmware support, which they control.
E.G. 768 isn't an uncommon memory amount in PCs of the past. 512+256.
I think some iPhone/iPads have used dual chips? Apple could very easily use a 16GB chip + a 8GB chip if they thought it made sense for customers and to save dough.
Do i think this will happen? No way.

I can and have saved many different types of files direct into DropBox or iUnarchive.
Still, if you don't have an app to deal with file type, why have the file on your mobile device, sounds pointless.
