Sixteen GB just isn't enough for most people. The 16GB iPhone has been slammed for barely offering enough storage to comfortably run iOS 8, Apple's latest mobile operating system, let alone whatever else you put on the device -- photos and video, for example.

I have to ask.

What are you people doing with your phone that 16GB isn't enough? I have a 16GB Android and don't need more space. My prior 32GB iPhone was never even close to filled and that's the reason I just go a 16GB phone this time.

I use 9gb on my windows phone, but I know my girlfriend almost filled up her 64gb 4s with photos and apps she never deletes. So to answer your question, photos and apps.

I would never have a 16GB iPhone because after installing my apps, that would leave me with barely 6GB left. Add in very little music and then some pictures, and you are out of space.

I also have a 16GB Nexus 4 but the storage space on that has been enough for the past two years but that's because I never use it for pictures because I have an iPhone and Googles music player sucks compared to the music app on my iPhone.

16GB is a joke just on principal.

It should start at 32GB for the current cost of 16GB.

I have a 6/64GB and mine is mostly music. Very few apps. I would use a 16 if I streamed my music, but for the cost of only $100, what the hell, why not have the 64GB. I also like having the space should I need it for taking videos or lots of photos.

I'm only using 9.3GB out of my 64GB at the moment. I think it has a lot to do with the cache a lot of apps keep too.

Bah humbug.

8GB is just fine. For my mother-in-law only, of course.
She upgraded from a flip phone, and doesn't have a computer.
