At least on mine, shooting a lot of photos really runs down my battery quickly.

Iphones are convenient and the latest ones really have incredible photographic features. But, if you know or want to learn more about the technical side of good photography, I think there is no doubt that a separate high quality camera--even some of the small ones, can give you the most versatility.

As for storage depletion, you can share with an ipad or upload to icloud and clear the photos each day if you shoot that much (though with tons of apps, most of my music collection and lots of messages and photos, 64 mb has been fine for me, though I will probably go for 128 mb on my next phone).
