The Wall Street Journal is confirming reports that Apple will boost the base storage on its next generation iPhone to 32GB.
The new iPhones are expected to have more storage for those photos. Instead of 16GB as a starting point for the entry-level iPhone, the new starting point will be 32GB, according to a person familiar with Apple’s iPhone plans.
Apple is also rumored to be boosting the mid-tier iPhone 7 Plus to 128GB of storage and the top-tier to 256GB.

No they won't, Apple has never increased the price of the iPhone due to a base storage increase, e.g. iPhone 5 had a base of 16gb vs the 4s with a base of 8, same starting price of $200 with contract, exactly what it is now. If you're going to complain, at least be informed about what you're complaining about.

They should have done this a long time ago, the base model should now be 64gb then the middle should be 128gb and the high end now 256gb but instead they want to rip customers off with 32, 128, and 256... No reason why they couldn't do 64gb

They're now doing this because of all the features and variety iOS has expanded on over the years, but ripping people off? I still have a 5s 16gb along with a few gb left to spare thanks to iCloud and it was well worth it coming out, but not to mention the materials used to make the phones even for the stronger metal in the 6s.
