It will be more enough for most people.
Who here has any idea if it will be enough for you.
And who here cares that you wasted our time with your silly post?

I bought the 16g because I'm broke and that's all I could afford.
I had the 4 and after the initial shock of getting the iPhone on Verizon and downloading every app, I got over it and deleted most of them. I only kept the apps I use almost everyday, so buy buy Crackle it was.
Most of the videos I take are my family members getting drunk and acting stupid so I usually delete those the morning after, so yeah...
16g is plenty for me...

I went with a 16gb and feel fine about it. I use iTunes match and Photostream which keeps me good to goDont keep a bunch of apps on my phone that I dont use either.
The only problem with photostream is that you can't add videos from your Mac to it for later viewing. The only way to do it is through iTunes which would take up storage. How are you liking iTunes match? Does it work well for music not purchased through iTunes? And is it only music or does it work for movies too?
Ive had a 16gb for the last 3 years. Its all about what works for you. I just put playlists and dont use it for movies, so my current 4 isnt even 1/2 full.
16GB for me, because I rely on the cloud for most of my stuff. I don't really care to keep my music locally, but I do keep a couple songs on there just in case I want to listen to something without a decent 3G/4G connection.
I had always gotten 16's because I never had a lot of music, or obsessive amounts of apps, etc. But my 4 started to fill up quick anyway. It's not as much space as u think. Photos getting bigger, etc. When I ordered my 4S I got 32 and will NEVER go back to 16. I realized that would constantly worry about filling up the 16, but never knew it until I got the 32. (if that makes sense). 32 is a perfect choice for me. And I guess if u don't mind managing ur apps, music, and photos 16 will work. But trust me, 32 feels so much better and totally worth the $100.
do any of you guys getting a 32g or 64g have a laptop or macbook? because i think that will be used as my main media device
Ordered the 16g as well. At first I was worried it wouldn't be enough, but I don't download tons of music or worthless apps so I feel better about the purchase as time goes on. If in two years I need more space, I'll get the iPhone 6 or 6s or whatever it will be.
I'm starting to wonder the same thing. I haven't ordered mine yet because thought I would see if I could "stumble" upon one (yeah...right). I've have my sights set on a 32gb because that is what I have now, but even though I do have a lot of stuff on my phone, a lot of it is junk pictures and such. So wondering if maybe a 16gb would be plenty enough if I streamline things. I don't use the photo stream or iCloud the way it is meant to be.
Lol I ordered a 16gig white, but at first I told the rep I wanted 32gig. I couldn't make up my mind. Near the end of the order, I changed my mind again and said I wanted a 16gig. On my last 32gig iphone, I never filled it up. I had a ton of songs on there I didn't listen to also the same with wallpapers and apps.
This time I will keep it cleaned up.

I've ordered a 16gig option and not regretting that decision at all. All my music library is located in iTunes Match, moreover I don't keep apps that I don't actually use, it's still a phone for me after all. My media oriented device is 32gig iPad so I don't see the point of a larger space for iPhone.
Currently own a 32GB iP4. Because I am on Fido, the reservation system limited customers to 16GB. I didn't want to wait in line at the Apple store so I just went ahead and reserved one.
I spent the rest of the day figuring out how to get my 28GB down to something more manageable, like 12 or 14. Considering my music is 12GB, and my photos were 5GB, and all my junk apps put together were maybe 2GB, it turns out not to be as hard as I thought.
Photostream archiving helps a lot, but I'm a bit worried about iTunes Match. It's not that I think it's not useful. I just wonder how easy it will be to navigate my 111GB library on my phone in order to decide what to dl/stream.
On the plus side, the money I save by going to a 16GB will pay for 3 years worth of iTunes Match. So really, I'm not too worried about it.
