128gb is more of a want rather than a need.

That's a wee bit subjective. And, by that token, 64GB could also be more of a want than a need. But Apple didn't make 32GB iPhone6s :p

I guess it all boils down to what you are really using the phone for. For me, taking photos and videos is key. So, having the storage capacity is useful. Perhaps I'll never get to max capacity but it's reassuring to know that it's there should I need it.

Plus, with the bigger screen, it'll allow me to watch movies while on the go. And this takes up space faster than you can imagine! I'm not packing the phone with the entire series of Friends but space soon vanishes when you start to get creative. Music alone takes up close to 20GB.

So, what do you do? Buy what you think you will use the phone for. Before anyone jumps, I agree that it's one of those things in life - if you have less space, you'll manage but if you have more, you'll find ways to utilise the extra space (and sometimes, not in a good way too). :)

It all depend on your usage. If you cant go over 40GB, give you 128GB you still won't go over 40GB.

128GB on a android is good. On a apple, not so. Of cos, you can choose to disagree. ;)

Then again, if you can go to 180GB then 128GB also not enough :p I'm sure many users can get past 40GB. The question is whether they want to or not. Anyway, I'm not saying that 64GB is bad. I'm just saying that I need more than 64GB. I may not need 128GB but I'm somewhere in between. And the price difference between the 2 makes it attractive to just jump for the 128GB.

Again, that's a personal choice.

128GB on a android is good. On a apple, not so. Of cos, you can choose to disagree. ;)

Why would 128GB be good on Android and not on an Apple? All I can say is that Android phones have greater flexibility since we can swap out SD cards etc. With Apple, you're stuck with what you get so it's advantageous to get more since you can't really change this later.

Yes agreed with you. If my current iphone use close to 60GB, it's a no brainer choice for me, 128GB is the one to go. Like i said, it all boils down to that user pattern.

Chose 64gb. Been using 64gb since 4S days and 128gb is overkill. I don't upload movies on my phone and nowadays I stopped uploading my lossless music onto the phone also I just stream my music off my NAS which has 400gb of lossless which is more than my phone can take plus I also got pandora subscription.

Mostly my phone contains games and photos now and 64gb is just nice for that.
