Anyone here with 6 and 6s can tell me the difference between 1GB and 2GB in the real world?
This thing could be my first iphone.

Just give it the same specs as the iPhone 6s. Seeing as Apple only releases one iPhone per year rebrand the segment:
iPhone Mini, iPhone, iPhone Pro.
No monikers, then people will refer to them as iPhone Mini 2015, 2016, 2017 etc, like it works for Macs.

Yeah it seems pretty unlikely they would make a different version of the A9 just for this phone for maybe a yearWhy would they put 1gb of RAM on an A9? Or why would they make more A8 with 1gb of RAM after they've started making it with two for the mini?
I don't see them going with high storage options on the "low" end phone.1GB RAM? Please don't do that again... otherwise Safari won't get snappier.
And what's the point of 16 GB storage. That's like 3-5 Apps and your phone is full.
Replace a 4.7" model? Unlikely. I would think that Apple would want to continue with a year old variant of the 4.7" model in addition to a 4" model. Those are likely different enough customers that Apple would want to keep both.
But maybe they don't want four models? That would be the 7 and 7+, in addition to the 6S and 5 something or other.
Oh, who knows. This is only silly speculation anyway.

Two phones a year. The 4.7 model, and the 5.5" model. This would be the third model.

I think the problem is the article mentions "fall" when it really means Spring. Right now they are selling 5s, 6, 6+, 6S and 6S+. After March/April they will just have the 5SE, 6S, and 6S+. So basically simplifying their production lines.Um, I don't think this will be the reason iPhone 6 and 6 plus will be discontinued in the fall. iPhone 7 will be that reason.
The iPhone 5s' design was flawless, their peak aesthetically thus far.
Agreed. I am a fairly heavy iPhone user, but made the mistake of getting a 16G 5s years ago- I have 81 apps which fit fine. The only issue is if you have a ton of music downloaded, but with Spotify/Applemusic this isn't as problematic unless you are flying/traveling internationally. That said, I'll opt for 64G if avail, but 16G is probably enough for the majority of users.People need to quit complaining about this. Sure I wish it was higher but I'm guessing over half the people with iPhone are like my parents who don't have more then 10 app on there phone. They don't put music or other media on it and still have 5+ GB free. If you want bigger get a 64 GB
Why on earth would you want a glass back? Do you like being twice as likely to break the glass on the phone?My roller coaster of emotions continue. I'm so excited about this phone again!
Perhaps - and this is totally unsubstantiated - the 5SE will feature a glass front and back - evoking Apple's best design, the iPhone 4. Satiating all the fanboys like me who want a more manageable sized phone and don't give crap about 3D touch and who all miss the classic design. (too good to be true)
On topic - I think this article is slightly misleading though. This 4" won't really replace the 6, Apple will just stop selling the 6 in September. People looking for Apple's 2nd tier phone will just buy the 6s.
Come September the lineup will be 7 / 6s / 5se.
How is that? It is way easier to handle than a 6. Curved edges are awful.Ergonomically terrible though.
That's no good argument.
First of all, the iPhone 7 and 6s will also probably start at 16 gb. Those are not entry level devices. Second, iPhones are expensive. The entry level device is almost $700 in pretty much every country outside the USA. So we're talking $700 devices with 16 GB.
However, the man issue is that a 16 GB iPhone is just cumbersome. It's full before you know it and then you can't really enjoy the phone because everything you do will make this pop-up appear saying you have to remove stuff. Take a video? Nope. Download some music for a holiday? Nope. How about playing a game that takes up a few hundred MB? Nope.
All the cool stuff requires space and you don't have space, therefore you can't do cool stuff. You can look it whatever way you want, but it just sucks to have an iPhone that can't be used properly.
[doublepost=1453735169][/doublepost]That's nonsense because Safari doesn't just save whatever is visible, it saves the whole page that is loaded, also the part that is not visible.
Once the iPhone 7 comes, the 6 will become "their peak aesthetically thus far". Always been, always will be.
I have a 16gb iPhone 6s, and as a professional photographer I've literally never had an issue with storage. And 1GB of ram is totally usable, if you have to refresh a page it shouldn't be a deal breaker, and if it is I don't know what to tell you. I have well over 4,000 pictures in the cloud and I can fetch any I want at any time. People are perfectly happy with 16gb.
My 5s is still going great. The only thing I wish it had is ApplePay
I kind of like the idea of it just being called the iPhone mini. It doesn't need a number because the people who buy these phones aren't looking for the latest and greatest anyway. Whenever they update the small phone, they'll just do it quietly with the next generation.
Fall 2016:
iPhone Mini (what they should call it)
iPhone 6S
iPhone 6S Plus
iPhone 7
iPhone 7 Plus
That's a good lineup.
