128 GB - How will you fill it up?

4173 Songs - 26GB
13 TV Shows - 13GB
Tons of comic books - ~40GB worth
I have about 30GB remaining. Loving the space. I had a 64GB for a couple days, and I'm glad I switched, I was already worrying about the storage two days in.

Still have about 94gb left. Lol. Just nice to know that I don't have to worry about storage. I'm sure I'll slowly fill it up. 64gb was my first choice but all they had was a 128 gb at the time.
Same thing happened to me, wanted the 64GB, they didn't have it, ended up buying the 128GB, I just have no idea how to fill it up, I have 100GB used in my MacBook Pro, so, even if I transfer everything I couldn't fill it up.
I seriously think Apple built more 128GB's than 64GB's since EVERYONE jumped from 64GB to 128GB just to get the phone quicker!
I think you are right, I bought it in Mexico November 3rd, the day it came out, my carrier is Telcel, went to two cities 30 minutes apart, a guy at Telcel told me that Apple sends them whatever they want, and that they didn't receive any 64GB in Space Gray, probably one of the most wanted iPhones, they only sent 16GB and 128GB, so yeah, I wasn't going to buy the 16GB.
So why does Apple offer the 128GB configuration if it just slows the phone down?
It's there to be used.
I have an iPad Air 2 with 128GB and an iPhone 6 with 128GB. Usually I'm a 16GB type of guy but this year I went big. Filled it up quickly on my iPad with movies and games although I still have 30GB free. Still have over 80GB free on my iPhone but plan on loading some more music on it.

App collecting has been a love since my iPad 1. I started out with 64 GB for the iPad, but when I bought my first iPhone (the 4), I stupidly went with 16 GB. Now on my 3rd iPad (the first Air at 64 GB) and third iPhone (6, 128 GB), I'm embarrassed to even say how many apps I've purchased (so I won't). Though, I will say that maintaining a very long wish list and checking price drops on apps daily in the AppShopper app is what has made how many I own possible.
I don't have a laptop or desktop. So, my 2 iOS devices, Bluetooth keyboard, and various cloud storage services are my digital life. I also started a blog reviewing iOS apps in 2012, which increased downloads exponentially.
I'm always running out of space on my current iPad and always was running out on my 64 GB iPhone 5, so that's why I went with the increase. I'll tell you my space stats now, but the only reason it's so full at the moment is because I got giddy and downloaded far too many massive (500 MB to 1+ gig) app I own. I do plan on culling this down so I can stop the continual fight for space.

So turns out all my iTunes music and iPhoto library take up a lot less than I thought!
Still have around 90GB to use
That's fine though, I reckon two years worth of apps, photos and music will fill that right up.
Not having to worry about the space is great.

How long are the videos and what is the video quality? Asking cause my Big Bang Theory takes a ton of space.
Mostly GoPro videos of the kids at Walt Disney World on rides. I do have the full length movie "Cars" and the full length movie, "Frozen." So basically, not sure how to answer. GoPro videos are very high quality but they are only 4 or 5 minutes each.
