Well iOS 8 is on it. So that 64 just became a 57 GB iPhone.
And well, I guess you are cheated if you get the 16. Unless it's a business phone but even then iOS 8 is on it. So it's really more like an 8 GB iPhone.
I was reading this article:
"A realization is gradually setting in for Apple investors, customers, and devotees: Apple has basically, quietly, raised the price of the new iPhone. How? By shipping the basic model iPhone 6 and 6 Plus with such limited memory that buying one would be like buying a Porsche with a VW Beetle engine.
As Apple guru John Gruber pointed out last week, Apple is selling the basic $199 iPhone 6 and $299 iPhone 6 Plus with only 16 gigabytes of memory. That amount of base memory first shipped with the iPhone 3GS, a now discontinued phone from the smartphone Triassic age.
In the four years since Apple launched the 3GS, smartphones have become much bigger storage hogs. With the latest Apple mobile operating system (iOS 8), many-megapixel video and still cameras, HD movies, and TV shows, and ever-more-complex apps, 16 gigs is now an annoyingly small amount of storage. Unless you aggressively and fanatically manage what's on your iPhonemoving photos and movies to the cloud (where you have to pay for additional storage), deleting little-used apps, etc.you're constantly going to run out of room. And that will create endless headaches and frustrations, which is not what you want and expect from a new iPhone."
