Damn, I was hoping for 32GB to replace 16GB @ $199. That would be the phone I'd get. If it's 16, 64, 128 GB options, I'm gonna have to spring for 64GB @ $299 which ain't bad but not my first choice.
Got a tip for us?

16 GB shouldn't even be an option anymore. iPhone 128 GB $949
There are many people like myself who don't feel the need to carry around thousands of songs and a bunch of movies on our PHONE. I still have 9.7GB available on my 16GB 5s, a 16GB iPhone is more than enough for me. I put all my music on my iPod and never watch movies unless its at home.
For me -- i'm leaning towards 4.7 model but I want pricing range / GB sizes first ..
I went from 3.5" iPhone 4 to 4" iPhone 5 without no problem so adding another 3/4" of an inch won't be a big deal by me ...
If its 32/64 (glass only - no sapphire) I'll get 64 if under 350, "ideally" @ 299.. and I'll get 200GB iCloud service @ $4 a month and do iCloud backups not computer backups any more ...
@ $299 (30.00 tax / accessories prices n tax paid and out the door @ ATT via Next plan) or $350 (35.00 tax / accessories prices n tax paid and out the door @ ATT via Next plan) ..

I think this pricing scheme would be great. I hope they do the same for the iPad, but somehow I don't see it happening given Apple's memory pricing history.
And there's not much to get upset about if this the way the phone will be priced. 16GB has been 199, 32 has been 299, so if you wanted 16, nothing changes. If you wanted 32, you get 64. How can you beat that? I just don't see Apple being this generous with the 64 and 128 options.
I am mostly just hoping beyond hope that the base model comes in at 32GB. If that's the case I can finally get a base model again. I went with 64GB the last refresh and didn't end up using the extra space. 32GB will be more than enough for me for the next year.
I might consider getting the next iPad mini and will likely go with higher storage in that. Books/comics are my new thing and those are fun to have stockpiled; don't so much like reading comics on my iphone.

mr cook is not interested in pleasing u or the few that think like u! Humm a choice of making money or pleasing radio? Money wins every time.
I hadn't even considered that, but yeah it would.
Still, I say 32/64/128! 16 really just isn't enough, even for someone like me who only puts 3/4 of him music (due to space constraints..), has only a few apps and has a few GBs of photos on his phone.
I really don't know why I didn't just buy the stupid 32 GB version.

You could beat that by having 32 standard

*Shrug*
They might. This is Mac *Rumors*, not Mac Definitely Gonna Happens.
I read an article recently about how Starbux and such places will be installing wireless charging pads on tables (where they wouldn't put a regular outlet or cable). So that's a big advantage -- a coming time when these become ubiquitous in public, offered as a convenience, so you can charge up while you eat, etc. Unfortunately, there are currently several competing standards for the technology....
If they skipped the 32 and went to 64GB i would be very happy as I was planning on spending the extra $100 on space upgrade anyway
Qi is an open standard, so you'll have everything from the noname china pads from Ali Baba for a fiver to the brand name "Fatboy specials" for $100 and more.
What I am more curious about is why is Samsung missing in that list... I thought they were the major flash memory suppliers...
Apple has this amazing device made specifically for music storage! Its called an iPod. Check it out sometime!
I know, but iPad Air has 4 storage options, from 16 to 128, so I think they'll do the same on the iPhone.
Adding a 4th storage option means they can squeeze even more money from people who need the extra storage.
Anyway I hope they'll offer 3 models starting from 32, I'd really love that. But you know, Apple loves to make a lot of money, so I'm afraid they'll let me down this time
I would love to be able to put all 55GB of music on my phone
But I won't be able to if the 4.7" 128GB doesn't show up on September 9th
Nor will I be able to if they phone costs $599

I hope this is not true, i mean yeah for those who need 128gb is great and all but i only have my music and some pics in my phone now so 16 is not enough but 32 is just about perfect for all that and apps, i mean i don't think i'd need a 64gb one so i hope the base model is 32 rather than 16 and if not i'd have to buy the 64 gb one
