Most people are out of space. The number of people I heard complaining when iOS 7 was released and they didn't have enough space to install it shocked me. I also know a tonne of people (especially younger people) who can't backup to iCloud because they have filled their device with photos and they would have to pay for more backup space. When most new games are over 500mb and even things like Facebook require nearly 200mb of space it's very easy to run out of 16GB.
I'm another that can't fill my 16GB. Believe it or not, all of us don't record live videos or download full length movies to our phones. I have exactly 3 screens of icons. If I download a new app, I will delete an old one. It's just how I roll :)
surely Apple has the ability to determine the minimum space people need from actual usage statistics. I would expect that usage like that is fed back to them. If not it would be one helluva blown opportunity.
