Default iPhone's storage limit reaching capacity

Does anyone know what will happen if your iphone starts to reach it's
capacity limit?

In other words, if you have a 8GB iPhone and start to reach the limits of
the device will your iPhone give warning messages?

And if you happen to ignore those warning messages - if any - what will
happen when you reach the absolute limit of the device?

TIA.

When trying to sync with iTunes you will be informed that there is not
enough storage and you will have to manually select items to sync. Some
apps that save data might crash if they have not coded for this
scenario. Should not stop the operation of the phone apart from apps
that save data on the phone.

My first 4S was an 16G, and I ran out of storage pretty quickly. Couldn't
fit my entire music library and my podcasts and my apps, so I had to go to
manually selecting which ones to keep, and which to store on my iMac. And
this left very little room for more pics and videos of the grandkids, not
to mention more apps (finding and trying new apps is kind of a hobby, over
a hundred now and counting). I didn't want to have to go through the
process of going through my music and my podcasts every time I added to my
collection to select which ones go to my iPhone and which don't, so I took
it back and got a 32G model. Now I've got room to spare. 12G. Didn't want
to have to spend the extra $100, but I'm glad I did. YMMV.
