Simply put, it's not the same.
No, its not the same. Spotify is 2014, not 1996.

Gosh man, you're really a brick wall aren't you...
1. With a radio service you have to have internet connection. Although often you do, you don't at all times, so you don't have music with you at all times.
2. You can't go pick the exact song you'd like to hear when you'd like to hear it.
3. You never can be sure you will like what plays next or that you will hear what you know you like anytime soon.
Having music with you is better. Listening to online radio is a DIFFERENT way of listening to music. Now this isn't to say I don't use or enjoy online radio, its just that it is not the same as the music with me at all times.

If Apple is going for the 16/64/128 scheme...you can bet your shakey tushy that I'm getting the 64 gig model.
If, OTOH, they still only offer 16/32/64, I'll either get the Galaxy Note 4 or stick with the base model and Spotify.
16GB is a pathetically small amount of storage these days. How much would it cost Apple to double that amount?
Not much, I'd guess.
So you're going to base your purchase decision on whether or not the 2014 iPhone lineup includes models in which you aren't even interested. I see...
Why are you confused?
And I always have LTE signal...
So your decision has nothing really to do with storage capacity and everything to do with price. Is saving 50 Euros really worth going to a Note?
4 dollars is a paltry fee to pay for 32 gb of storage instead of 16 gb. no arguments here.
except when you realize that extra 4 dollars is for every single phone they make which will be in the tens of millions. Now you know why Apple has so much cash.
You must stand in the same place all day ...
No, I just do not live in the US
Damn you!
(Out of curiosity, where are you located?)
Denmark. A small country, but very well covered with LTE, and for me, worst case is 7-18 Mbps 3G when no LTE. But on my way to work, in the city and where my friends live, I have LTE. 10 GB data, 12 hours talk, unlimited SMS/MMS for like 20 dollars a month. You have to take into account that everything is more expensive in Denmark compared to the US, but maybe the carrier prices are more even?
16GB? 2012 called and they want their RAM back lol.
No way Apple will ship a fancy new phone with a paltry 16.
32 or higher only.
It's not read only memory. ROM can't be written (as in CDROM).
It’s not ROM ... otherwise, how could I _write_ photos or music to the device.
It’s storage. Read and write flash storage. (it’s analogous to a hard drive or a little more accurate, an SSD)
It is definitely not about ROM either.. Think about what you wrote: read ONLY
16, 64, and 128 make perfect sense. Apple will have way more profits this way as most people will be willing to pay the extra 100$ for an extra 48 GB of storage.
If the base model was 32 Gb I would not pay more money for more storage. With 16 GB being the base, this is like a 100$ price increase for the iphone.
Those people don't need an iPhone. What's the use of getting an iPhone and using it basically as a feature phone?
you can use it like an iphone just fine with 16 GB, even 8 GB, you can't just go crazy on huge apps, giant music libraries, or videos. you can browse the web, stream music and use maps just fine with almost no storage use.
I honestly think that the only reason Apple ships 8GB and 16GB devices in 2014 is so that ignorant people buy them without realizing how constraining that amount of space is, and then in a year when they run out of space they are more motivated to upgrade their phone.
It's all about planned obsolescence. And it's obscene.
It wouldn't be so bad if at least they charged a reasonable amount for upgrading - maybe $50 per capacity bump instead of $100.
I sure hope that if they are offering 16GB, 64GB and 128GB, they are only charging $100 to upgrade to 64, and not an extra $200. This would be reminiscent of what they did when they first launched the iPod Touch 4th Generation, with options in 8GB and 32GB. I bet tons of people got 8GB iPod Touches as gifts and had to run out and upgrade to 32 so they could at least store some music on it.
