Just about every premium Android device comes shipped with 32GB. Flash memory prices have also been coming down for a while now yet since the iPhone 3GS back in 2009 we have forced to pay extra for anything more than 16GB.
The premium Apple charge for the upgrade to 32GB and 64GB is simply exploitation.
Previous to the 5S I also upgraded every year but was so disappointed with the 5S I decided to hang on to my 5. The 6 better have 32GB as default and a 4.5" ish display.
Yes I agree with what you said, personally there are some things I would like worked out in iOS7 and on the iPhone before upgrading. I used to be able to scrub websites smoothly and slowly, now that all went awry in iOS7, besides the calendar and Notes which I use heavily are sometimes hard to see with the all white backgrounds, I just do not like it.
As for the phone for me 4.5 or 4.7 is big enough, CPU and GPU should get their usual boost, base should be the 32GB, I will no longer spend $ for a 32GB and I refuse to buy a 16GB with no way to expand, Apple pays like $ cents per GB but we pay much more than that to go from the 16-32-64.
Applecare to me seems worth it for the two accidentals at $75 each because insurance thru other carriers costs way more than that, but another thing I have to consider for my phone and expenses. Just need LifeProof to come out with a good case for the new phone too, because my LP case saved my 5 so many times and it is nice to not have to worry about something spilling on the case if you do not mind the screen protector built in, worth the $79

as long as the 6 doesn't make me look like this...
