Meanwhile, I got a base model Iphone 3gs back in 2009 that had 16GB minimum storage.

And 32GB is plenty except for X Y and Z (where Y is large app collections of games [Hearthstone alone is like 1.5GB on mobile] and Z is music collections where you don't want to spend $50 a month in data fees for things you have on your home hard drive) which precludes anyone using those from buying these devices.

All the cell companies are in a ruckus about how nobody bought 2015 flagships, but when the best storage you can get is 128GB on an S6 without a removable battery or SD slot for an insane like $200 premium over the minimum model you might want to stop price gouging as much if you want customers.

The iPhone 6 still starts from 16 GB, which I found very odd, as these days the minimum should be 32 GB. Like the Nexus 6 had, so now we are talking about a regression in the Nexus line.
