128 GB or 64?

[gugy]

I currently have an iPhone 5 with 64 GB. According to my storage, Ive used 41.8 GB, with 15.2 GB available. Should I get another 64 GB or should I move up? Will the iOS8 use up more memory? Do I need more storage?

Thoughts?

64 sounds more than enough for me. I only hear people asking for more and more if they like to preload several movies. I usually don't so I don't see the need. My current 5s is 32 and I am fine.

It's up to you, but in the age of the cloud, I personally don't think there's a point in paying the extra $ for 128GB.

Not everybody's situation is the same, so your statement is not really correct. If you are not in WiFi range and using data frequently, more onboard storage can allow you to pay for a smaller data package. The price difference is covered by the data savings pretty quickly.

Always get the most memory you can afford. This holds true for any device.

Eh. I disagree with this. My mom has a 16GB phone. She has used a whopping three gigs. Getting the 32 or 64 would have been a flat out waste of money.

I was debating about the version I was going to get but I think Im going to rock with the 64gb 6+ and thats because I have two lines and I wil be running and android device which is my OnePlus One and it has 64gb internal. I dont put music or movies on my phones and take pics when needed.

If you take lots of photos, 128GB. Remember, you're paying the extra $100 essentially to have the luxury of 65GB or more. Sounds like you're headed in that direction with your storage usage. Also 64GB comes out to some number in the high 50's if I remember correctly and 128 should be somewhere around 119 (IIRC from having a 128GB mini iPad).

I've got a 64GB iPhone 5. I have a ton of music (150+ gigs) so I already don't have a lot of my collection stored on my phone. I also take a lot of photos. 128 for me.

If you can afford the 128GB, go for it. You'll never regret having more space.

Calculate the space your music/photos/videos occupy and apps respectively. It takes time to do but it worth it.

I'm happy with basic capacites (i have 8 gb only on my device), because sometimes i like to clean and stay only with the essential. Normally i use an external hard drive to save everything, that's the reason...
