Apple's new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will offer users more storage than ever before, topping out at a whopping 128 gigabytes of space on high-end models of its two new handsets.
The entry-level 4.7-inch iPhone 6 starts at $199 with 16 gigabytes of storage on a new two-year service contract. Moving to 64 gigabytes jumps the price to $299, while the 128-gigabyte version will cost $399.
As for the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, the 16-gigabyte version will start at $299, with $100 price jumps for 64 and 128 gigabytes each.
The new models push last year's iPhone 5s down to $99, while the iPhone 5c remains in the lineup free with a new service contract.

"As for the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, the 16-gigabyte version will start at $299, with $100 price jumps for 64 and 128 gigabytes each." Why even bother with 16gb on that size? Use the rest of the 32gb inventory might have been better?
Because people will pay up to the next one. It’s brilliant.
That way they catch low end potential customers and then... everybody else.

At times corporations are seriously whacked when buying technology buying just enough to get what is currently needed done. As for the other two models I don't think they had any choice really, the cost of flash has dropped so much that the iPhone line up was looking like a big ripoff. The line up is much more reasonable now.
only a blind fanboy like TS can call this brilliant. How is 16 GB better than 32 GB?
