Most likely this. I have no need for 64gb, 32 would be plenty
Yeah, that's a fair point. When I bought my iPhone 4 the OS was more compact and apps were in their infancy. I had loads of room for my music and all was good. Over the years I've had to prune the music back a bit to fit CoPilot etc on there. Things will be even tighter with the newer 64-bit iPhones with 8MP cameras I expect.
Ya, I was hoping for 32GB base model, genius move by Apple pushed me and presumably lots of others to the 64.
I felt the same after using that "actual size" website posted above, the 6 is already a big jump from the 4/4S.

All those previously buying the 32GB iPhone 5S HAD to pay for extra storage. It's no different this time around... If anything it's cheaper to get the "middle" model and you get double the storage.
I suppose it sucks if you expected 32GB as a minimum, but they've clearly done this because they know it would limit the amount of up-selling. In other words more people would see 32GB and stick with that.

Maybe the 16GB is still there because there is a market for people who use the iPhone as an iPhone and have another device for their media, or maybe a market that stream a lot of content. I don't really know.
I filled my 32GB 5s about three quarters so was always going for more space.

16GB iPhones and iPads have always been fine for me, I don't store media on the devices apart from the odd picture or video I take, and the apps I use don't tend to require much storage. All my video stuff is streaming, and I don't listen to music at all.
Don't think I've ever gone below having at least 4-5GB free.

But that doesn't make logical sense, the smallest size should then be increased to 32GB, but that wouldn't make Apple as much money
Offering an 8GB 5C now as the basic model is madness, who would 8GB be enough for?!But that doesn't make logical sense, the smallest size should then be increased to 32GB, but that wouldn't make Apple as much money
My wife...
She just wants a phone that will go on-line as and when needed, text, make phone calls, looks nice/fashionable and most importantly does not cost £600.
She doesn't play mobile games, doesn't need to carry around her entire music collection or use even 500mb of data per month. Pink 8GB iPhone 5C sounds perfect.
Shame the iPhone 5C contracts are still silly money so she is happy to use my old iPhone 4 and pay £10 per month for service.

I wouldn't bother with them if I were you!
I think a big part of the base model staying 16gb is maximising the profit margin on the device that businesses buy for corporate devices via the MNOs.

Just played with a workmate's Note 3. The Plus is around the same width but a touch taller. Surprisingly, I didn't have any problems with it, even though he'd replaced the back cover with a cover/larger capacity battery which made it a fair bit thicker - could operate some stuff one-handed etc. Looks like it's the 6 that's getting sold on.

Payment has been taken for mine but it is still showing as Preparing for Dispatch. Hopefully soon it will change to despatched.
Who do Apple normally use for deliver is it UPS?
