Everything you describe can be found on the current Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge of except USB C. I just bought one and it blows away my 6s Plus in every way. I donated my 6s Plus on Monday afternoon. I may buy a 7 when it's released to the public.

That galaxy s 7 is the phone series to best this year. I've got my eyes in the bite myself. But I already have an android phone that work provides and I don't want two android phones. I'd be happy with these specs on an iPhone though.
I was talking about an SSD for a current gen Macbook Air or Macbook Pro. Obviously 'regular' SSDs don't cost that much anymore, but when it comes to Apple 'required' hardware, it typically is going to cost a lot more. My price is 100% spot on for a current gen Macbook Pro 480GB SSD. With that being said, my post also stated that size of the chipset increases the price. A flash memory drive is not the same as a micro SD card, not even close. A 256GB micro SD card is typically around $200, and 512GB micro SD cards are very rare. While a 256GB regular SD card is roughly $100. So half the price, but double the size. Once 512GB micro SD cards do hit the market, I'm sure they will be $300+
Longer you wait to be on any type storage, it gets bigger, faster, more reliable and "much cheaper"!
You can get a 256gB flash 3.0 usb card for $30 at Costco now! I am jump on impulse but thought about my USB collect and that one card has more storage in it them my collect of all my USB flash cards!
but is it apples fault or the people who buy apple's sub-par "yesterday's hardware"? if people keep buying the sub-par stuff why would apple change? no need to change. trust me if this years iphone tanks really bad. next year will different. if not then there will be no need for them to change and 2018 will just be like this year's 2017 iphone. with just a little sprinkles of touches here and there.
Absolutely no chance of a 512GB iPhone, not this year, not in the next 5 years. In my opinion of course. Ironically, there was probably a greater need for higher capacities in the past than there is now.
Anyone with large enough media libraries that went from higher capacity iPods to iPhones have already created solutions/compromises. With the advent of more streaming media options, increased data caps for smartphones, higher data speeds w/LTE, greater cell/data coverage, the overall need for onboard storage capacity has dropped or at least remained the same.
The primary driver for greater storage capacity is 4K video recording, and even with that, post-production on an iPhone is insanely cumbersome and without a high data transfer rate option, pulling large video files from an iPhone will be prohibitive.
