16GB? or 32GB? or 64GB?

I think imma go with the 32GB white this time.

I used to be a 'phones are black' kinda guy, but then that white 5 is damn sexeh. Very clean. Whereas the black one looks like something a ninja should be carrying.

And I used to go with the smallest (8GB 3G, 16GB 4) but my music library as it is on my computer is about 29.5GB right now and I'd actually like to fit it all on there. (It'll compress down quite a bit more since I let iTunes re-encode to 128kbps AAC before sending it to the phone, and most of my library is at 256kbps or more)
 
16GB has always been enough for me. I don't need to have my entire library with me, and I don't take many pictures or videos.
 
Will be going for the Black 32GB! previously i had the 16GB 4S but seemed to using it more for photos even though i have a Canon 550D, for more convenience i suppose (easy to post to Twitter etc)

Unfortunately im having to wait as im from the UK but currently in NZ so can order until 28th!! damn you Apple New Zealand! :apple:
 
A big black 64Gb iPhone 5 on the way, my 32GB iPhone 4 just isn't enough for me, I have 22GB of music alone, can't stand having to delete stuff all the time, I just want to sync and go.

Ever thought in investing in a iPod Classic if you have a big music library?
 
Going with 32GB.

My iPhone 4 was maxed out and I'd like to have 256 kbps music on my phone rather than 192.
 
Went 32gb White. I had a 16gb 3G and went up to 32gb for the 4. Have never really maxed that out, so I'm fine with that.

I only have a 16gb iPad (original), whenever I decide to upgrade that I may max out. I'm always looking for more video space when I'm traveling.
 
I went with 64GB again this year. For $100 extra it is well worth it to me. I like adding as many photos, apps, music and videos as I want without worrying about whether I'll run out of room or not.
 
I'm going 64 gb. might as well, since i'm paying full price anyways.

but really, i plan to keep this phone for 3-4 years. i have the 32 gb iphone 4 right now, and for a phone that's more than 2 years old, it still holds up, and it can last another 2 years without complaining.

granted i dont use that much space on my iphone, i have like 23 gb of space left. but when i do buy the iphone 5, i'll be uploading my music collection.

Well it's 22GB not 122GB and I really don't want to take two devices with me all the time when one 64GB device will work, at least a lot better anyway.

58GB actual space, 22GB of music, 5GB of apps, 1GB of other and add another 5GB for extra apps off of that will give me about 25GB left for photos and videos, not bad, certainly a lot more breathing space than I have now with only .43GB left.
 
I chose the 16gb version because I currently own a 32gb 4S and I barely use 9gb of it. I don't put movies or videos on my iPhone because I have an iPad for that. I do have some games that take up a good bit of storage but not enough to warrant a 32gb iPhone. I don't take many pictures/videos, with the exception of whenever I go on a trip/vacation, so for me personally, 16gb is plenty.
 
Surprised with how many people have gone for the 32GB or higher. It is my first iPhone though so maybe i'll crave a higher capacity next time around.

I have a pretty extensive iTunes library, but I really wouldn't want to clutter my phone with a lot of that
 
I have a 16gb ipod and its almost full, I plan on buying a phone, but I defently want it 32gb. with lte.

I can not deside if i should buy a iphone 5 or a samsung. lol
 
Getting 64GB most likely this time. Loved the 4S camera and ended up taking lots of photos and videos with it. That combined with my large music collection stuffed my 16GB rather quickly so I had to start deleting stuff.
 
I went with the 32gb on the iPhone 4 thinking that I would have overhead, but now it's maxed. I went with the 64gb iPhone 5 thinking I'll have overhead again... LOL. My iPad 2 is at 58.1 currently. I'm not very good at deleting things I don't need or backing things up on an external storage.:(
 
Last year I got the 32GB 4S and almost immediately regretted not getting the 64. Sprint's 3G coverage has been spotty all year (though it seems to be improving), so Spotify and Google Music were non-factors, and iTunes Match, well, you know iTunes Match.
 
Moving up from 16GB iPhone 4 to 32GB iPhone 5. Without any media files, my iPhone 4's available space averages between 4-6GB. With higher resolution video and photos, I suspect I will need 32GB to last 2 years.
 
16GB is more than enough for me, especially since I got iTunes Match - have my whole music collection on me if and when I need it.
