So how are people supposed to take any decent 4k videos with only 16gb free space?
Are you serious?

Security is a feature, too. An especially important one when the competition has such terrible security. Then there's lack of privacy on Android. I don't see how any Android phone could be considered "excellent" no matter what the price.Thank you! the feature gap between Apple and others is shrinking (all major apps are on all platforms), next frontier? Price, we are already seeing excellent phones in the $300 unlocked region. With subsidy being called out by all four carriers now, there's even more pressure on either real renovation and/or price reduction
True, but the nsa got access to all devices regardlessSecurity is a feature, too. An especially important one when the competition has such terrible security. Then there's lack of privacy on Android. I don't see how any Android phone could be considered "excellent" no matter what the price.
Please. "A Somewhat Faster?" Please do a little research prior to commenting.![]()

Feel free to do the same.
Just because Apple claims it's 80% faster, doesn't mean everything will be 80% faster, or even anything. Most people who understand computers know that any system is only as fast as it's slowest component, and the CPU is not it. A large chunk of a CPU's time is spent waiting for other things to complete or respond.
In reality you'll probably see a marginal 10% to 20% improvement in some things, but overall it will probably not be terribly noticeable.
1 GB of ram and I'm skipping
Well, considering I have a 32 GB iPod touch that I don't have much on at all except a few games for my son, and a reasonable number of podcast subscriptions, and I'm always hovering around 16 GB free space (in other words, full if it were a 16 GB device)... and my son has a 16 GB iPad where we're always fighting to keep some free space and even doing updates is a problem... and pretty much everyone I know who has a 16 GB iPhone is pretty unhappy they have a 16 GB model...
And then factor in that 4K video probably consumes somewhere between 500M and 1GB / minute depending on compression level...
I'd guess they might just be serious.
(Or, to put it another way... when you buy it new and take it out of the box, you've got a max of 3-4 minutes of video and it would be full, even if it is otherwise 'empty'.)
There is a super easy fix for that, but I will let you ponder to see what you come up with. Take your time.
The fix is to simply not to buy a iPhone with 16gb. That, or just shoot regular videos. The 16Gb isn't made to store a plethora of data...obviously.Hmm... well first off, RAM and flash storage are two different things. I agree with penajmz, if it does have 1GB of RAM, I'd not get one... but I'm pretty sure we'll find it has 2 GB.
But, I'm curious about your fix. Since a lot of people WILL buy the 16GB model, they'll be happy to hear about it.

And again Apple raised the prices for iPhones in Germany.. Now a 64GB 6s Plus costs around $200 more here than in the US. What's Tim doing with all that extra money..?!
so, just because a few users think 16Gig phones are old-skool, doesn't mean no ones buy them.
I have a 16Gig, and there is no point in me wasting money of a 32Gig phone since i don't use that much space..
So, Apple would be getting more of my money... and 3/4 of the storage would be wasted anyway.. There are some of us left![]()
Yes, there may be a few of you left... but the argument isn't that it is impossible to make 16GB work, but that it isn't REALLY in Apple's best interest to save the couple of dollars to start at 16GB rather than 32GB.
The reason Apple is doing it is to create an up-sell situation. That does actually help in the short-term in terms of financials. But, what I'm (and others) arguing, is that on-the-whole, that creates a bad user experience for many who buy them which, in the long run, hurts Apple more than it helps.
Like I think I mentioned earlier. I have a 32 GB iPod touch which I could make so I have over 16 GB free if I worked at trimming stuff down. But, I don't have hardly anything on there in the first place... a few apps, a few games... and some podcasts. Since it's camera is horrible, I hardly ever take photos or video.
And, I don't think you'd have 3/4 free on a 32 GB, as that would mean you have nothing but the base OS. Possible, but that would mean you don't really use your device... so save a LOT of money and just buy a dumb-phone!
But Apple is so big - does it have to care if a few so-called "cheapskate" customers get upset? After all where else will they go? I guess Apple's attitude towards anyone who complains about the 16GB is to ask the user to upgrade to 64GB or 128GB models.
Yeah, and Santa is coming in just over three months!True, but the nsa got access to all devices regardless![]()
Yeah, yeah, and all Politicians are the same.... would you like to buy a bridge?Cough the fappening Cough.
Seriously basically every operating system can get hacked, Apple worked with NNBA I would imagine at some point in the best.
Sorry I meant the NSA.Yeah, yeah, and all Politicians are the same.... would you like to buy a bridge?
I think they should care. Apple has always stressed user-experience. That is the #1 reason for their success. And, when you buy a new $700 smart-phone, you should have a good user-experience with it (within reason), and not a poor one because you didn't realize you needed to spend $800 to get that.
And, just within my circles of people who I've met with iPhones, and asking how they like them, etc. I've come across a number of them who say they like it but are disappointed they can't update or are out of space, etc. They wish they would have bought the bigger one, but they are on a 2-yr contract. Who knows if they will buy another after that, but IMO, that's not worth Apple saving <$10 in parts or even gaining a $100 up-sell on some percentage of their sales.
And yes, this is how most companies operate... and it's kind of business and marketing 101...
But it isn't how Apple should operate, and business & marketing 101 is simply wrong on this one.
No, I don't think they do either, although, if you look on Apple's site and see the spec's for the iPad Pro, it shows 2GB of RAM. Why wouldn't they
