The 16GB base model wasn&#x27;t sufficient for the 6&#x2F;6+, and is even less sufficient now with the 4K videos and 50% more megapixels (which I imagine would be on by default).<p>In the previous models (5&#x2F;5s, 4s) the base model provided enough memory for doing most things comfortably. Now you actually HAVE to get the intermediate model to do anything useful (unless you&#x27;re in masochistic mood). So the intermediate model (costing $100 more) becomes the entry level model.<p>I would even go so far to say that the 16&#x2F;64&#x2F;128GB memory gradation, coupled with the slippery 6&#x2F;6s (slip and break more often ==&gt; more AppleCare purchases and&#x2F;or service repair costs) are intentional.<p>I understand capitalism and all that, but this is just pure greed and they&#x27;re not doing much to hide it.
