Do you understand what analogies are? It's not the case of what they can afford, its what they want.
Do you want a crappy one bedroom studio compared to a nice house? do you want a cheap 89 honda accord compared to any modern car model?
i know there isn't a 128GB phone model. I'm a developer i would know, the whole case was why would anyone not want it?
at this day an age how can you assume nobody needs more than 16GB, are you serious?
im not even talking about "oversized apps" you download bunch of apps you can use for just streaming, work (editing files, accounting, etc etc), and your personal pictures and videos. those alone would be enough just fill your 16GB phone.
first of all i just dont like people that come off like that, people should think with a broader mind.
rather than, "this fits me, nobody else needs it". the fact that he can fathom that to me is ridiculous.
what have i said that was arrogant? everything I've said is with a broad mind.
i never said nobody has a use for 16GB because its so small. i was just appalled by the fact that he thinks that nobody needs more than 16GB.
I'm well aware of what analogies are. Along with metaphors and similes, I use them frequently but that's not the point. I'm also aware of what flawed analogies are and to me that's what they were. That, just like everything else on these boards, is an opinion only. It might differ from yours or someone else's but it doesn't make it any less valid. A lot of people want what best fits their needs, not just the biggest and best. People are different.
If you don't have the requirements for a 128GB phone I can see that it's possible you'd want to ask why anyone would want one. If it's explained in a logical way rather than a beat down, maybe they'll come to your way of thinking. I'm using 'your' here as a catch all for anyone who holds the opposite opinion to someone else, not just aiming at you.
His original post:
I registered just to ask this:
Why do you need a mobile phone with 128GB of space? I got 16GB and im not getting over 12GB in total.
2-3GB Spotify, then tons of photos, and games.
To me he doesn't come off like anything, and I don't think he was saying nobody needs more than 16GB just that he so far hasn't and can't see why anyone would. He might be willing to listen to a reasoned discussion about it and admit that, OK you have a point. Maybe it's one of those situations where the original point can be read either way.
As for me, I don't think I ever said nobody needs more than 16GB. My point was, and remains, that it might still be suitable for certain use cases. In fact a friend of mine has a 16GB and hasn't come close to filling it. It fits his use needs perfectly.
The arrogance I referred to from you was more in the tone than anything else, because anyone who argues a point using terms like "ridiculous" or "arrogant fools" or in your last post "are you serious" can be seen as coming over as arrogantly as the person against whom they're arguing the point. That's the problem with the typed word - no context, and potentially (and easily) misinterpreted.
I'm as broad minded as the next bloke personally. As I said I'd like to see a 128GB model this next go round. I doubt it would fit my use case but I can see an argument for it. I've never taken a lot of photos with my phone. I have a camera for that. A good one. I use the phone for quick snaps of various family gatherings and to use as a GPS locator for geotagging my other photos.
I'm happy to get into a conversation with you about the usage of the phone for storing photos and videos and how that may or not require smaller or larger storage with iOS 8 and the new Photo app but that's outside the scope of this thread somewhat.
