Ok, here’s a different view. My iPhone has 32GB on it and 12.5GB is unused. That said, I’m pretty good about uploading to my iMac very frequently. I don’t use iCloud (I think the cost is ridiculous), but do use Microsoft OneDrive’s 5TB of cloud storage included with Office365.
However, for the real heavy lifting, I have 3 hard drives attached to my iMac. One of them is 4TB and the other two are each 8TB for a total of 20TB. Although one relatively small partition of one of the drives is my TimeMachine backup (and that’s also backed up to OneDrive), the rest is photos and videos and my digital music collection. My next step is a NAS to backup that data.
So, wake me when a petabyte of storage is available in the cloud for, oh say, under $100/year. You know, like next year.
