Really not sure what you're complaining about?
You are the only one.
That's very stupid! It should have started at 64GB; it's just a few pennies more.
The same crappy currencies make buying components and assembling them cheaper for apple
Because more people will upgrade to the mid tier if they keep the base model at 32gb.Why not 64gb, 128gb, and 256gb ?

Apparently, competitors offering waterproof phones for a few years now and aggressively touting it...
and
works. Even Apple can't forever pooh, pooh competitor feature advantages that gain some traction.
Of course, waterproofing doesn't depend on ejecting 3.5mm- why is getting rid of a round hole but leaving a larger, nearby, rectangular hole a key to waterproofing? Answer: it's not. That's just spin.
Now pass the champagne.

I won't have anything to complain about if they keep the same price points but everything we know about Cook's Apple points to this being an excuse to raise an extra fifty bucks per tier.
Munching popcorn, watching the Apple haters try to spin this rumor negatively.
The 64gb option was the middle tier. They'll keep the price the same for the middle tier device and just give an extra 64gb. I don't see why this is a bad thing.
Yeah, 5GB of iCloud storage is a joke. That's why I use Google Drive mainly. They offer 15GB free off the bat, and by taking advantage of some offers for free bonus, I'm up to 19GB now. Similarly, I'm up to 30GB of free OneDrive storage.
Basically all I use iCloud Drive for is as a quick way to transfer small files on and off my iPad.
A water resistant smartphone is really not easy to design - that was my point. And, a water-proof smart phone is impossible to make and have it usable to talk and listen.
Watch makers have been it making clear what a water resistant vs water-proof watch means, spelling out the distinction between the two terms.
Also, I like the consistency with the iPad Pros, err iPad Pro devices.
It is very much looking like the iPhone 7 Plus will be my first iPhone since the iPhone 4, which was a horrible experience for me. I've had enough of The Samsung.
I have 15 GB available on my 128 GB 6s, and I upgraded my iCloud storage to the 50GB level.
Clearly, one of us is doing it wrong. I just don't know which one.
Sure but that same statement would be true prior to the iPad Pro 9.7 announcement. And unlike most iPads, iPhones in the U.S. are mostly paid for in installments now so it's even easier to get away with a $100 price increase because it's "just another $8 a month." We see that kind of rationalization here and elsewhere all the time when companies indiscriminately raise prices.
Given the tough competitive market smartphones are in right now it could be a tough sell. But I wouldn't count the prospect of a price hike out. I give it 50/50. But either way it will be a moot point if they don't handle the transition from headphone port audio to lightning port in a consumer friendly manner.
What are you talking about? Wrong on so many counts. Who locks RAM at 8GB? There are tons of com that have more than that. Also RAM and SSD are not the same. Not even close. RAM needs power to store data. Pull the plug and everything in there is gone. SSD isn't like that. !!??
God I hope this is ALL True ( as far as storage options go ) but I strongly hope and pray the current headphone jack remains.
Some standards are good and fine
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
When I had my iPhone 6 Plus ( 128 GB )
I hovered between 75 and 83 GB Used
Alas when it was stolen best I could manage was a 6 64 GB I hover between 50 and 57 GB Used
I try to keep a buffer for iOS and app updates. I mostly do pics and have a decent sized app library

Following a recent report claiming the iPhone 7 will ship with at least 32GB base storage, with Apple dropping the infamous 16GB model, research firm TrendForce adds that the mid-tier 64GB storage option may be replaced with 128GB alongside a new 256GB version at the high end of the lineup.The new storage options would henceforth be 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB, although the report does not make it entirely clear if the 256GB version will be exclusive to the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus or also available for the 4.7-inch model. The current storage options for both the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus include 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB.![iphone6s-scene2-250x367.jpeg]()
Earlier this year, Chinese website MyDrivers said the iPhone 7 Plus may exclusively feature 256GB storage and a 12.7 percent larger 3,100 mAh battery. In terms of credibility, the website did accurately report on the iPhone SE's 1,624 mAh battery and 2GB of RAM before Apple launched the 4-inch smartphone.
The remainder of the report corroborates other well-known rumors, including a dual-lens camera and 3GB of LPDDR4 RAM being exclusive to the 5.5-inch model. The 4.7-inch model is expected to retain a single-lens camera and 2GB of RAM. No major display upgrades are expected until Apple switches to OLED in 2017.
Recent rumors suggest the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will share a design similar to the iPhone 6s series, sans a 3.5mm headphone jack, with more significant changes coming to the 2017 iPhone. This year's new features could include a faster A10 chip, waterproofing, repositioned antenna bands, faster LTE and Wi-Fi chips, and more.

I don't want to spend any time managing which apps and what data is stored in internal storage or in various fingernail sized chips that I have to swap in and out. If you store large apps on MicroSD (like Atari game cartridges!), do the icons disappear if you eject the card? Do you carry around a tiny Case Logic brand card file to keep them organized? What if you take your phone on a long trip, but leave the card with your music collection behind?
I've grown comfortable with the way iOS keeps the file structure out of the way. I don't yearn for MicroSD.
I think some of us just don't believe in Apple giving us this on their dollar.
I believe that Apple has margins and user experience be damned, if a feature doesn't fit under margins it's not going in. Look at the 6+ vs 6S+. That extra 1GB of RAM does make a significant user experience difference, but think of how long it took Apple to finally move to 2GB.
Why would you want Apple to sell an 8GB phone that fills within the user's first month of use, rendering the device essentially broken? That makes no sense. Apple's mantra in the past has been "it just works". 8GB will start popping up storage full errors.
