I cannot imagine how one would fill up 256GB worth of content on an iPhone, so for those with 256GB iPhones, how have you guys been utilizing your new gigabyte estate?
Extensively for music, movies, etc. ready for 512 GB. 256 GB is a past technology/ obsolete storage size.

Nothing special.
 
I'm not taking pictures nonstop or sharing with everyone. I'm listening music using Tidal.
 
So what is eating your storage?
I'm not sure what I had on my 128GB 7+, but I only had 10GB free on it when I got my 256GB X.

Currently I have 228GB free....

70 songs, 560 vid, 6200 photos, 150 apps.

I have 96GB left

So when I upgrade in November I likely should stick with 256GB

No point getting 512GB just for the sake of it
 
Still got around 160GB free on the iPhone. I don't use as much storage on the phone as I do on tablet. For the extra $4-5 per month on the device payment plans though, figured might as well have it and not need it than the reverse.

apple should of had a 128. 256 is overkill for most people. I wanted a 128 as I use about 110 max. had to get the 256. not worth the 150$ extra
