I'd be glad to finally see the base storage bumped up to 32 GB, but that's something which should have happened two years ago with the iPhone 6.
I agree with gist of your comment but I don't want to have to manage content/data. I just want it all available in case I need something. So I'd love more storage so that I can sync everything and not worry about it. I know this is what the cloud is for, but I've had some bad experiences with cloud services (including iCloud), so I'd rather pay for more local storage and not be reliant upon the cloud.
I have 13,000+ photos in my Photos library. Several thousand more that I haven't yet digitized or moved into Photos. I hate when a subject like the painted church in Praha, Texas comes up and I don't yet have the photos from that place that my father took in 1975 loaded into my library.
So anyone who prefers having a nice selection of music, movies etc. on their phone has a mental defect? Are you always in the mood for the same thing? Do you use mp3s or lossless? Why do you care? No one cares if you go for a smaller storage size. Great, that's what works for you. It's great to have choices to fit a wide swath of peoples needs.
Not to even get started on things, apps, etc. I need for work.
Exactly. I sync with iTunes, after the first time, you just make a few changes here and there and it's easy. Not to mention cloud proponents assume there is unlimited bandwidth with excellent coverage everywhere.![]()
Or just have a slot for memory cards? Just a thought ...As I said in yesterday's thread, for all I care they can sell an 8 gig phone - if people buy it, then great for them and for Apple. the real issue for me is the price. $100 jump for each tier of memory is a bit much even when accounting for the margins that Apple like to keep. I think they could something like
iPhone with 16gig $600
iPhone with 32gig $650
iPhone with 64gig $700
iPhone with 128gig $750
Yes, it is a recent trend. I'm old enough to remember paper maps, pay phones, snail mail (we just called it mail), mimeographs, I remember when digital watches were LCD, and they only displayed the time if you pressed the button. TV shows that were in color came with special announcements telling you so (so that people still watching on black and white TVs would feel jealous and want to upgrade (I'm pretty sure that was Tim Cook's idea). Old timers like my grandparents wouldn't have a color TV in the house, because of the radiation.The reality is, 9 years ago, users were working with 4 GBs of storage in their iPhone. I am sure if you have photos from 1975, you likely weren't always viewing them on a single device. They likely were archived on a few externals and your computer, which has always been described as a hub up to the release of the iPhone. You likely didn't have your entire iTunes playlist synced to a smart phone since it would not be possible.
If you started storing so much information on a smartphone, it is likely a recent trend.
I never said my library only goes back 40 years. I have pictures from the 1930s and 1940s also, like this one that shows my dad as a young boy.This is hilarious. The reason people are clambering over 256gb iPhones is so they can carry around every photo that they (and their father) took in the last 40 years? Jesus Christ. That is stuff that should be backed up somewhere, and if you like to have access to every picture in existence then put them on the cloud or create your own server. I just don't understand this mentality. I have several terabytes of media at home. I have hundreds of gigs of photos in the cloud. I'm buying the 32gb model in September. It would be ridiculous for me to start bitching about how I need a 10TB iPhone.
You do know you can sync to your computer, right?

I can have a personal opinion. If it bothers you ignore it. At the same time, I can uncheck and sync the playlists I like when I need. Its like you are not even aware that is possible.

Also, your conclusion that a large swath of people want 128 and 256 GB phones is just speculation. The most popular remains the 16 GB model, because its cheaper.
I think they are jealous because they can't afford the bigger storage option lol. /SYes, it is a recent trend.

As for storing photos, they were in shoeboxes, or in albums, or in slide projector carousels. We were happy in those days, but that doesn't mean I want to give up all the tech that has come since then. My iPhone is more powerful than the room-sized Cray super computer that created the visuals for the movie Tron.

I'm not bitching about how I need 10TB on my phone. But when phones are available with 10TB storage, I certainly won't be bitching about their existence.
I never did say the majority want bigger, I just said there are those of us that do. Why do you keep going to a photo analogy?
I didn't say you don't have a right to your opinion. I questioned labeling anyone who doesn't share your use case has a mental issue. That's insulting. No one is bothered that you don't use your phone the same.
I assume you have the same opinion of anyone that bought 30 or 80 GB iPods?
Recent trend? LOL.
Yes I know I can sync and unsync playlist. I acquire a new artist, I create curated playlist. My music is ripped in lossless format and no, I don't have my whole library on my phone.
I've used iTunes since 2003, I think I know what I'm doing. Thanks.
I don't understand why you care if anyone wants more storage. No is bothered why you want less. Good for you- use what works for you.
I've never had anyone tell me they bought a phone with too much storage, but I've had a LOT of people tell thanks for advising them to not get a 16GB. It's all in how you use it.

[doublepost=1464840926][/doublepost]When I replace my iPhone6, it will be with a phone that charges with any cord that fits, not just expensive certified cords.
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.![]()
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.

Well they will never give expandable storageWow! Groundbreaking technology!! Too little too late. Dumped my 6S Plus for a Galaxy S7 Edge with expandable storage and currently have a 128 GB microSD added to the 32GB internal. When Apple gives me wireless charging, IP68 waterproof, expandable storage and a lot more features, I'll come back, but I don't want to wait until 2018.
9 years ago, Apple sold a variety of iPods, not all of them were iPod Classics.9 years ago many people had an iPod which they carried alongside their phone, and possibly synced to their entire iTunes library. Now we don't have to do that thanks to the larger storage options.
They might adjust those prices to meet current exchange rates while also raising prices in the US.Not really.
In Europe, Russia and other places prices rose dramatically due to currency. Apple is not going to push prices up further.

You do know that 50 GB of iCloud is only $0.99/month, right?
Now people will complain that it's not starting at 64 gigs.
Man I can never go lower than my 128. I haven't had to delete stuff, manage space, it's been magnificent.
Hyperbole. ^^^Judging by the Apple last quarter results many people heeded your advice.
He or she must be too poor or cheap to pay that. Although it begs the question TF would someone who somehow is affording Apple products worry about $1 for?
Your post/comment already came after complaints or suggestions to do a
64/ 128 / 256 GB lineup lol
I know right? God I miss my 128 GB Curse you theives who got away
