That's the old iPhone 6 on the picture. The new 6s is larger.

I remember I wasn’t able to update the iOS on my old 16gb iPhone 5s because of storage issues. They should have at least gone 32GB, 16gb is just ridiculous and classic apple being apple, which is precisely what non-apple users hate about them.
Thank goodness! At this point, Apple has us institutionalized; any change in base-model capacity would confuse and anger us.
why are people complaining about the 16gb? if you don't want it get the 64gb... duh.
lol apple continue to shoot themselves in the foot, the lack of hotspot option without carrier approval made me switch to s6.
ofcourse there are still gonna be these minimalist trying to tell themselves that 16gb is enough. until they get the phone and goes uh oh i should've gotten bigger capacity lol

I don't understand this anymore. Surely there can't really be any cost savings over a 32gb chip nowadays, pennies maybe.
Screw the cloud. I don't want my data hosted on some server somewhere, effectively held hostage by an adequate data connection. Apple's base model should be 32GB by now.
Keeping the 16GB is NOT a surprise. I've said this, literally, a thousand times. The 16GB model makes Apple the most money so why would they drop it?
Also, an upgraded Touch ID sensor? What's wrong with it? Mine must have failed like 10 times since I've had my 6 from launch day.

16's more than enough, i've never gone past 60% capacity i don't understand why people need 64 and 128 on a damn phone, there's just no need.
those are the ones that stay glued to it and are anti-social imo

Ive: Better user experience or save $1 on manufacturing costs?
Tim: Save $1!

Pricing isn't talked about, just flash size. The picture with the article doesn't help...
Guess this prompt will be a lot of people's new friend.
"If it's not an iPhone, it's not an iPhone."
"If it's not an iPhone, it's not an iPhone."
so... with your use case... DON'T BUY THE 16GB???
Because the base model should be 32GB at that same price, as they are making a killing off their storage tiers as it is... is where I believe most people are coming from. Make a base model, priced at the current base model price, be a little bit more realistic to what consumers need for when they purchase from the AppStore and iTunes (yes, more money for you, Apple) and take higher MP pictures. I believe a base model at 16GB could be made available to businesses, but consumers should have access to a base-priced iPhone that comes with more than 16GB. The 16GB phone should come with a big warning sticker for consumers that might not be savvy enough to help them understand that it's probably not going to be enough for them.
Because it's a damn computer that can also make calls (if feeling social apparently). If you just want a phone you don't need any GBs.
Because it's too small for all but the lightest of users. A lot of customers would be just fine with a base 32 gig (which would cost Apple a couple of bucks more), but end up ponying up an extra $100 for the 64 gig.
It's absolute marketing genius by Apple as it forces customers into a higher margin item. It's a d1ck move. If it was an insurance company, pharmaceutical company or oil company we would go ballistic. But since it's Apple, a lot of folks around here give them a free pass.
I completely agree. Now that 2 major carriers (TMobile and Verizon) aren't offering subsidized plans anymore, and 1 major carrier (AT&T) is heavily heavily marketing only their non-subsidized plans, it's likely a minority will be actually paying that advertised subsidized price. Not to mention the rest of the world where this nonsense doesn't exist.
