iPhone 6 Said to Launch on Friday, September 19 in 32 GB and 64 GB Variants

Good reasons. I will add or highlight that my main reason is to have enough space to capture photos and videos while on a trip without my Mac. Also to load videos and movies to watch when inside an airplane for hours.

Yep. A better question that the OP asked might be: what are the disadvantages of more storage space? Other than price, I can't think of any.
 
Bring on 128gb already! Clearly there was a caveat in Kryder's law for Apple. Rather than doubling storage every year, they choose upgrading storage once every World Cup.
 
its a pretty big disadvantage in my opinion to pay 200-300$ extra for getting just a bit more space. Especially if you know how low the real price of that memory is. How many beers would that be?

That's the same as what it costs currently outside the US.

Edit: Even worse, it's relatively cheap. The 16 GB model starts at $950 in Europe.

Yeah that's true. I somehow thought these would be US prices.

Why do you need a mobile phone with 128GB of space? I got 16GB and im not getting over 12GB in total.
2-3GB Spotify, then tons of photos, and games.

UGH what is with people that are always like "Why would anyone need a bigger screen" "Why would anyone need more space". Geez stop being so narrow minded.

How about videos for example!
 
Why is the bezel on top and bottom not getting smaller on the bigger phones. I don't want a bigger phone. More screen estate, sure. But not the phone to be bigger.

In what way? I don't keep junk.

I wouldn't take their comment personally. From what you've posted of your usage, I'm pretty sure you use your phone more than them anyway. So on the contrary, you're doing it right.

Besides, they've got 77 reasons but a phone 'aint one ;)
 
I read all these posts about how people think 32 GB is more than enough to use the iPhone, but I disagree. If I knew I had storage space on my phone, I would use it for more things, but the way it is now with 16 GB, I have to limit what I'm capable of doing with it and carefully manage my storage.
 
It's interesting that is rumored Apple will finally ditch those peasant 16GB as minimum storage, and everyone starts ranting because there's no 128GB option.

Yes, because what's the point in having three options, dropping the lowest option, then not offering a better alternative for the top-tier?

Why does one buy a 60" tv when a 42" will work just fine?
Why does one need a full size SUV vs a smaller sedan?
Why does one want a 5.5" phone over a 4" one?
Why do ugly women wear makeup?
Why do we still have racist in 2014?
Why does Macrumos flipflop every other day with these stories?
Why does one need a tablet when they own a computer?

You can't have tons of games on a device that only has 16GB.

24.6GB Photos & Camera
23.2GB Music

Not much room for everything else. Currently only 76MB free.

I can understand the 23.2GB of music, but do you really need to keep 24.6GB of photos on your phone? That must be several thousand pictures. Why not store them on your computer or portable hard drive?

Lots of reasons... Just a small sample of them:
- Roaming charges when outside your country (I keep my music on my phone)
- Large apps, like TomTom for driving outside my country
- Photos

And personally, I prefer to have wasted space than to have to scrounge for it.

Its funny I first had a iPhone 3G with 8Gb and I thought how could I ever need more.
Then I got a iPhone 4S 16Gb and I thought the same thing, but at some point my iPhone was full all the time.
Had the something with iPhone 5 16GB.
So going to 32GB is very nice.

Perhaps you should learn from your pattern and skip 32GB to hop on to 64Gb or 128GB? Each hop you've made has yielded "the same thing".

You're right, it would make sense to. However it's nice to have your pictures on your phone to hand/message, and also when you have shared photo streams, it makes you feel hesitant to remove anything.

Hoping with the next version of iPhoto (which currently is possibly the worst software on my Mac) you'll be able to do similar things.

What's the deal with the "do you need" crap? Don't you get these phones to enjoy them?
Memory is dirt cheap, so why NOT have extra memory?
