Note to the MR team: please continue to use tables when comparing different devices, it’s much easier to see the similarities and differences. Bullet point lists are awful for comparisons

Titanium Chassis + Periscope Camera! Enough said.

This sounds like a very compelling upgrade to me. Upgrade!

The 2TB option would be such an ideal iPhone for me. I cannot rely on a 1TB iPhone anymore. I'm afraid I will be running out of space next year.

Apple also needs to increase iCloud storage next month.
