I always wonder why people think the date is a significant argument. As long as Apple sells millions of 16GB phones, and have millions of people decide to spend the $100 extra for the 64GB phone, they will continue doing just that no matter what year it is.
hahaha , apple take money again ,,,
16-64-128 = people spend extra 100$ dollar to get enough storage ,
i don't use apple pay , it so embrarras , i have been try gas station , walmart , sometime registery understand sometime they dont know and act like what the heck apple pay ,,,,,,, what a joke ,,,

I don't care how much they make. I merely pointed out that they are being cheap on the storage. If they weren't so tight with upgrades like these, more people would like them and would probably buy more of their products. (with the money they saved by not having these insane storage prices) In the long run, they'd have more users and make more money. But if they keep this up, many will switch to Android, Windows etc.
Beating a dead horse here I know, but 16GBs in 2015 is just pathetic and sad. It wreaks of bargain bin parts Apple, like you're trying to burn through your overstocked 16GB chips and pass off the costs to the consumers.
Make the entry level 32GBs and just eat the costs, or put those 16GB chips in a new iPhone 6C that doesn't do 4k and what not. The idea that 32GBs would take sales away from the 64GB iPhone is absurd. Most people have adopted the idea that they want either the 1st 2nd or 3rd model in terms of storage. That was once 16, 32, and 64 and now it should be 32, 64, and 128.
Matter of fact, just lower the price by $100 if you plan on selling the 16GB model . . . . . seriously.

I wonder what this new NFC hardware get me. Apple Pay seems to work okay, they just need more places to accept it.
How much RAM will it come with?

what a joke
2009 - 3G S - VGA video recording (640 by 480) - 16GB base storage
2015 - 6s - 4K video recording (3840 by 2160) - 16GB base storage
Well, you don't need to buy the entry model. Phil Schiller was just right about this point.
Try 64GB, considering a 64GB SanDisk Ultra micro SD is only £22, this is ridiculous gouging... but then, who's surprised!

16 GB, Phil Schiller can't be serious anymore 
At least offer us 1 TB of space on iCloud or something, not an amount so little that you HAVE to pay extras.
And thinking about it, the difference between 16 GB or 32 GB must be like $5 for them, just shut up and put it in Apple.

Is that another way of saying they are making more money from people upgrading from 16gb to 64gb?
So making optical image stabilization available only in the larger 6 Plus wasn't bad enough, now we have to choose between features based on storage capacity?
If we wanted feature fragmentation on the most recent generation of phone offerings, we would've looked at Androids.
Cloud base services are useless when out of cell range, which is likely if you're in the great outdoors capturing the nice 4k video of nature. Also when out of the country you don't want to be accessing too much stuff online with expensive data charges.
I agree the base should be 32 or even 64 as there is bugger all difference in price for a phone costing around $1000 retail. I got the 64Gb 5s but really wish they had a 128 model.

LOL! Someone always seems to post this every year that a S model is going to be released.
Except with android the phones that drop features also drop in price, android phones in the iPhone 6 bracket are fully feature packed, even with expandable storage in some. Apple doesn't do that. They like their profits way too much.
It's fine if Apple want to sell a 16GB iPhone and then market it as one for those that use cloud services, but it's not exactly clever to then sell the phone model on that same ideology on the worldwide market as not all countries offer cheap unlimited data, and those that pay a lot for unlimited data will be entitled to the high end storage iPhone for free anyway.
They should be sensible and offer 32GB in some markets and 16GB in others, but that would cost money, and Apple doesn't like to spend money.
Yup, I knew it. 16g base to force the 64g upgrade. Tim.... You suck. 
Just be happy with 16GB. They could have lowered the base model to 8Gigs.what a joke
