iPhone 6S

The tech giant Apple has announced two new iPhone models. The iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone 6S come with many significant changes such as an enhanced display, a stronger design, an improved A9 processor and new cameras.

According to several reports, the iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone 6S will come in 128GB, 64GB or 16GB of internal storage.

The 16GB iPhone is the cheapest model and, therefore, it will be extremely tempting. However, you should not purchase the 16GB iPhone 6S Plus or iPhone 6S. Here is why.

The camera of the iPhone 6S can shoot 4K video. However, users will only be able to shoot some minutes of it before their 16GB is completely full.

Also, users of iPhone 6S have found that one minute of 4K video on the smartphone will take up 375MB of space on the device. It means that users will be able to film 30 minutes of 4K video before their device is completely full.

According to reports, Apple's new Live Photos take up double the amount of space as normal photos.
Furthermore, the 16GB models are $46.81/GB for the iPhone 6S Plus and $40.56/GB for the iPhone 6S, according to iMore. The 64GB models are $13.27/GB for the iPhone 6S Plus and $11.70 /GB for the iPhone 6S. The 128GB models are $7.41/GB for the iPhone 6S Plus and $6.63/GB for the iPhone 6S.

The 64GB iPhone 6S is a few dollars cheaper on monthly installment plans and just $100 more costly on-contract. Given the Apple-managed iPhone Upgrade Program, buyers will be able to pay for their iPhone 6S smartphone in monthly installments, according to The Verge.
