128 GB - How will you fill it up?

[Alex225]

I have just got a 128gb 6 and Air 2 after having the 64gb 5 and iPad 3.

I'm relishing trying to fill up both devices as 128gb is more than I need but I thought 'why not' when buying.

I'm thinking a nice load of movies and tonne of music will do for starters

I filled my 64GB iPhone 5 with music and pictures/videos and apps. My hope is my 128GB will allow all that and leave me a little breathing room. I have no plans to even attempt to fill it. I just don't want to be constantly constrained for size.

I will probably sync my iPhoto library soon and maybe swap my 320kbps mp3 collection with ALAC. I've had issues with matching foreign music using iTunes match and I'm not a fan of streaming so meh lol

Just curious, in a year, would the 128gb lose the most resell value?

Movies for flights and LOTS of photos/videos of the kiddos.

It will be worth slightly more than the 64gb I'd say. Not 100$ more at resale time though.

I'm not filling up my 64GB, never mind 128GB. I can't imagine what I could do to fill up a 128GB phone.

Same here. I originally purchased the 128GB 6 since my local Apple Store had it in stock. After a day, I realized I definitely did not need that much space, so I returned it. 64GB suits me much better.

Yes relative to cost paid the highest storage option loses the most resale value.

Okay for those of us that opted to get the big daddy of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, how do you plan to fill up your 128 Gigabytes? Well, 114 GB after Apple takes it's part.

Right now, I've got:

3151 songs
95 videos
1593 photos
88 applications

And I still have 74.4 GB left!

The answer: I'm not sure yet. Which is perfect because I hate running out of space.....I have like 73.5GB's left lol...and that is after adding a bunch of stuff that I had to delete in the past or stuff I don't really need on my iPhone lol. Now if only Apple would introduce a 256GB variant....

EDIT: I guess my collection of lossless AIFF and ALAC songs won't be that hard on the storage now....I have more free space on my iPhone than on my rMBP's hard drive....gotta fix that...lol

So, if someone offered you $10,000 instead of $1,000,000, you'd take the lower? That's what you're saying.

Not really, iPhone we have to pay.. What your're saying is someone giving for free

this is a really bad analogy and you should feel remorseful for having made it

 

[iPodJedi]

Movies!!!

 

[BeK]

Yep, I have about 16gigs of hi-res FLAC on the phone now, listening via CanOpener.

Does iTunes offer music in FLAC format? If not, where would I find it?

I have to agree, that analogy sucked

I got the 128 GB + and I have a 70 GB iTunes library with over 9,000 songs, 15 GB of music videos with over 200 videos.

I don't have any other devices besides my MacBook Pro so although it may be unnecessary to have all that on my phone, it's cool I can.

 

[MacFanBoi]

I got the 128gb iPhone 6 but currently use less then 16gb. The reason I always get the highest capacity phone available is a better resale value in 12 months time and since it costs me next to nothing extra on the mobile phone plan I'm on to get a higher capacity it's worth it.

 

[PSB136]

Yeah, I agree now. It was early morning before my coffee, when I posted.

 

[samiznaetekto]

Don't you worry. Apple will fill it for ya. It calls it.......... OTHER.

Rip your CDs into FLAC or ALAC

 

[nateo200]

iTunes doesn't support FLAC guys.....if it did I'd be pretty happy but I have to convert everything to fricken AIFF (much larger) or the elusive ALAC (which I can never convert to with ease).
