And Apple will finally sell the iPhone starting with 256GB
Technically the Pro Max already starts at 256 GB (starting with the 15 series iirc). But they simply removed the 128 GB option from the price stack.
What do you need 256gb for? You don’t seriously store photos and videos on your phone… as the only place?
My 100GB music library leaves less space than I'd like on a 128GB phone.
You really listen to that much music that often? I assume that's compressed as well, because I don't think there's a point to high-bitrate media when you're going to play it through phone speakers or Bluetooth.
Personally I just use plain old FM radio in my car, a couple dozen songs on my workout playlist for the gym, and YouTube streams for work.
Great if you only want to listen to music half the time.
that's what expandable storage (i.e. sd card) is for.
oh your phone does not know what that is?

My girlfriend learned that lesson the hard way. We now have a nas and off-site storage.
Fuck yeah! I NAS swap with a friend. I have my house NAS which syncs to my other one at his place and he does the same. (4 total)
Yeah, I don’t get this. I still haven’t used more than ~115GB in years that I’ve been on iPhone. All my photos are in RAW (since supported) and I’ve got a huge lossless (or better) music library.
Granted I don’t have 100% of everything on my phone all the time, but even my iCloud storage is pretty low.
I guess since I have Apple Music I don’t have very much on my phone at any one time.
Most of my heavy usage are my Virtual Machines. But really, those don’t all have to be on at once. Am I really using windows that often?
I use YouTube Music and the only time I download music for offline is if I'm going to fly somewhere.
Oh shit, I have a flight later this month. Thank you for reminding me to download the music!!
