iPhone 6s 16GB Price or Apple’s Biggest Mistake Ever

Before Apple unveiled its 9th generation phones on September 9, 2015 there were rumors that the company would drop the 16GB version and offer 32GB model instead. Nope, this never happened and you’ll see the lowest storage space [basic phone] in the market this year.

Apple might offer more storage space the next year if iPhone 6s 16GB sales are too low. Those of you who want to use Live Photos option or record 4k videos should not purchase the base model. You’ll need the 64GB or even 128GB iPhone since the 1-minute 4K video takes nearly 400MB of space.
