To iCloud yes.
I wish I could delete pics. Every time I delete some though they just sync back to phone when I sync with iCloud again. Not sure, but the settings for iCloud etc are confusing to me

I'm not sure what you disagree with? I said nobody wishes they had less storage. It's more just wanting to save some money.
You just made it sound like you should always go for the most storage, because you'll never want less storage, but you might not need all the storage you have and would rather keep the extra $100-200.
I got the 256 since I plan on keeping this phone forever, always nice to have another device around the house as a media player and photo , media , gaming toy etc. I have a handful of apps now and nothing else but I could fill it if I wanted to.
I'm with the OP as my answer is simply 'music'. Always wanted a pocketable device that I could carry my entire music library. Never quite got there, as over time my collection has grown so even now 256 (minus space used for other stuff) doesn't quite give me enough for it all, but I'm much closer than I've ever been!
How do people listen to so much music? Lol
I'm really picky with music so I don't wind up saving a lot to my library, but in the past 10 or so years of collecting, I've only managed to acquire about 14GB.

I have the 6+ with 128gb since it was released. So far I have only used 43gigs and thats with a lot of useless apps that I have never opened after getting them.
I went for the 128gb because my 5s had 16gb and I was running out of room so i said eff it and went for the largest capicity for peace of mind. I also ordered the 7+ in 128 since its more than enough for my needs.

I misunderstood your first post then. And as you stated, not everyone wants to spend the extra money for the Plus, unless you truly appreciate the features it has to offer.
As most people says, music.
My library is filled with lossless and HiRes songs. 16GB or 32GB is way too small for all of them. My library now is 100+ and I absolutely need a lot more space to truly expand my entire collection, perhaps 1TB or so. Going 256 means I do not need to worry about library size for a while, or perhaps, a bit longer than expected.

Doesn't seem appropriate or relevant to the topic to post this.
And your reply was relevant to topic and helped how? Calling the kettle black...
me too i always keep my old iphones. i use my iphone 5 as a media remote at home to cast netflix, youtube, and etc to my chromecast. and at work i use my iphone 6 as media player at work. i know its overkill but my iphone 6's battery died because i was using it too much.

My post was an observation based off an inappropriate remark posted to the topic, not making a suggestive inflammatory comment about "Porn". (No emoticon necessary).
Back on topic. I see you mentioned deleting pictures off of your iPhone and iCloud restored them. All you have to do is permanently delete the picture(s) off your iPhone, otherwise they technically remain on your iPhone in the 'Deleted' file.
Is it viable to use the 256g Iphone as an external storage to an Ipad 32g or maxed out Mac Air?

I only got 256 because 512 wasn't available. My policy is to always go for the largest storage size available at time of purchase.
Now I've been burned a few times when Apple decides to release a higher capacity mid-cycle.
I figure, base model will NEVER satisfy me and so the 128GB plus is $869. I'm already spending that much money, what's another $100?
Also going forward, I'm going to hold out for sim free models.

That depends on your usage pattern to be honest. How are you thinking about using an iPhone as an external storage for an iPad or a MacBook for that matter?!
I would want to keep all my photos and music on the phone. I would also like to keep music I produce with Garage Band and Logic on the phone and access them on the Ipad when I want to edit them. Same with Photos and video.That depends on your usage pattern to be honest. How are you thinking about using an iPhone as an external storage for an iPad or a MacBook for that matter?!
Maybe HD movies and music when I go camping or long drive with the kids, pics along the way since I know my phone still have extra space since I forgot to upload my older pics, unfinished presentation for work that requires videos and pics, hmmm audio recordings of lectures or conference so I wont forget, or backup data from my laptop since I don't want to carry extra stuff.
Just maybes for me. I have the 7+ 128gb.
