My 6 Plus is 16 gb. I do pretty well with it. As long as most my pics are stored and cleared off the phone. I use Amazon Photo to store pics. I think if I got a new phone I'd go ahead with 32 gb, but that would be more than enough for me for sure. I'm only using 8.9 gb at the moment.

I started with the 16 gb iPhone 6, but quickly started having to manage my storage. I underestimated how much I would use and was not enjoying my first iPhone experience at all. Now I have a 64 gb 6s and feel like I have plenty of breathing room. I have used just under 18 gb, most of it being music. My dh, on the other hand, is a very light user and is happy with 16 gb. He has very few apps, takes virtually no photos, and streams all of his music. Some people are capable of making it work, but I am not one of them.

The thing is, the difference between 16 and 64 GB is HUGE. Do I use 64 GB? No, I probably don't even use 32, but I use in the 20s, which makes 16 GB far too small.

I had a 16gb 6 plus and I got the storage full warning probably 4-5 times throughout the 1.5 yrs I had it. Would just backup photos on Google Photos and clear them off and continue. Decided to get a 64gb 6s this time just for peace of mind. Also would like to keep more documents on my phone for work as I am out in the boonies with no service regularly. Oh and those 4K videos of the kiddo will eat up a good chunk. Ha
