Personally I'm more than happy with 32GB and 64GB configs; however, is not crazy at all to ask for a 128GB model.
Got a tip for us?

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

128 is a bit large, but my iTunes music library is well over 20GB. I haven't been able to just do a full sync in forever on my 4S.
So first we had "Two new sizes to launch, 4.7" and 5.5"", then we get reports of the 5.5" being delayed, then them launching together. Then it being delayed, then them launching together. So now we are back to the 5.5" being delayed?
I might have to go up to a 64Gb finally
I was planning to in any event, but this is welcome news that I will stay at my price point (assuming this rumor holds true)
Makes sense to drop to 2 storage options with the introduction of 2 screen sizes.
So iPhone 6 will come in 32GB and 64GB variants, and 4.7" and 5.5" sizes.
4.7" @ $199/$299
5.5" @ $299/$399
This works with the iPad scheme. You can get more storage or larger screen for the same price.
And a quick check of vzw.com...

Welcome to the forums.
1. People who have a large music collection.
2. People who have a large film collection.
3. People who use the iPhone as a backup or file transfer utility.
4. Purely for technological progress. Why not? Technology has to progress.
5. 16GB is just dirt chip, yet manufacturers are charging $100 for an extra 16GB, rip off! Enough of that.
It depends on how you use it. iTunes Match is intelligent, if you download tracks while you are on WiFi as you run out of space it will delete the tracks you haven't listened to lately. I make playlists for different activities, pull down a playlist with one tap while I'm on WiFi and let it cleanup old tracks. This way you have access to your entire library and you aren't using your cell data to play each song. I do stream some music when I'm not near WiFi (rare), I have a 2gb data plan and I usually only use around 1gb.
You know this how? Do you work for apple?
I wish I knew for sure, I'd put in my vacation request now.
And Apple has something like ten trillion dollars in their back pocket. Multiply the 16GB starting storage space by the amount of times Apple tout about not shipping junk, and how they want the best experience for consumers, and let me know what that ends up with. HINT: It's double-standards and pathetic for somebody of Apple's quality.
It's called capitalism. Their job as a publicly traded company is to make as much money as possible for their shareholders. Thanks to Cook, they've been able to reap those benefits much more than Jobs ever allowed. The money you earn goes into some "random" bank account as far as I'm concerned. Should we start telling you what to do with your own money?
$1,000 Seriously?
It's a FREAKING PHONE! I think I'm jumping off the smart phone bandwagon. ATT just replaced my broken 4s with a 5 two weeks ago and I'm finally out of contract, so I think I'm just keeping the 5 for a few years and maybe go with a pay as you go plan. Tired of paying a small fortune for these damn phones and plans.

Why do you Care?
Why do you care if a lot of people want a 128gb phone. It annoys me when people act like their needs are the only ones that matter. It's like back in the day I went into Apple or Best Buy and when they were out of the 32GB versions the response would always be "you don't need it get the 16gb."

I have 5 gigs available on 64.
I would definitely spring for the 128 if available.
Almost definitely going with the 4.7". I can use that with one hand probably fine. The 5.5" is too big for me I think. I like one handed use for some stuff.
Oh, and I think they are changing the name to iPhone Air (or at least just the 5.5").

My guess is the 4inch phone will be a 6c - 5 internals and plastic case or just keep the 5c
Nice try but apple's market cap is a little over 500 billion. Also, if you pull up sales numbers by capacity on a site like ebay, the 16gb is FAR ahead of the 32gb and 64gb. The 32gb and 64gb are about on the same level. The trend is that the majority of people don't use the larger capacity so to apple its not worth the half a billion in additional costs to please the 2%. It's called business strategy and they seem to be doing fine with it so far.
notification on mavericks said/showed iPhone 6 to launch Friday.
How disappointed am I with your click bait
You honestly thought it would launch without a press event?
so what you are saying, workflow.
I usually listen to top 20 albums at the same time, and it takes me 5minutes to put them on my phone while I'm behind my computer (thats 80% of my day excluding sleeping). I regularly dump photos from it because it gets too cluttered and annoying to have them on my phone anyway, so I will need to do it eventually.
edit: also, i had a 64GB ipad1, now I have a 16gb iPad Mini retina, so its not that I haven't tried a larger device, its just my workflow.
