I have 83GB used on my iPhone 16 Pro.Has it really been that long? Damn, Apple's cheap. Gotta protect those margins, I guess.
Will 128GB serve as the base storage config for iPads and iPhones for the next 7-8 years too?

My first computer had only a 5.25” floppy drive. But it had a 7.16 MHz processor. 50% faster than an IBM PC!I remember having a conversation with someone decades ago, in which we were both marveling over the fact that 10 megabyte hard drives were now available, and one of us said "And I hear they're releasing a 20 megabyte drive soon too!" We both felt like "And what's next? We land a starship on Antares??"
macOS will takes 25GB.Introducing the MacBook Air M5, with 64GB base storage
Meanwhile now having about a terabyte is useless.My first computer had a 40 MB hard drive. I remember upgrading it to 200 MB, installing every game I owned on it, and actively searched for more games just to use all that free space for something.
But the 5GB iCloud era remains.
Of course, for a service fee, Apple can help with that.
Unless you have icloud… it’s really not. Not really sure why Apple always lags behind on hardware… and charges more. Starting to reach my wits end with Apple.
Take a lot of long videos of your kids, nephews, nieces, and other relatives, and just about anybody else too, live bands, cats, dogs, shellfish, etc., and don't delete them since you might want to watch them on your phone when you're out and about again sometime. But back them up onto your Mac too, and then back that up to an external SSD, and iCloud, but remember not to delete them from your iPhone, since you can treat that as another backup too, just in case.I'm using 54.29 Gb on my iPhone 14 Pro. I have refused to clean up my messages, podcast and anything it suggest to reduce storage used because I want to use more, but it's so difficult.
Any tips on how to use more?
And yet iCloud is still 5 gigs.
Now that you mention the 12” MacBook, if today Apple releases the M4 MBA in a 12” size, I’m ordering one immediately.Great, now have Macs (air and mini especially) start at 512 GB. The 12” MacBook started at that and I hoped it was the start of a trend, but it remains a frustrating one-off for low end Macs.
Come on. For the vast majority of the iPhone users 128GB is more than enough. If you’re one of those who has tens of thousands of photos, often films in 4K 60fps or play a lot of games you could opt for a larger storage. That is exactly what these upgrades are for.Unless you have icloud… it’s really not. Not really sure why Apple always lags behind on hardware… and charges more.

There was a time when 'iOS' and 'System Data' did not take up an aggregate 23.5GB of your drive.There were times when that was enough... Time flies and life changes …and the smallest capacity of 128 seems very small these days too
Profits. Thats why. They can also state that an item starts at "X" price without actually expecting anyone to buy that one.Unless you have icloud… it’s really not. Not really sure why Apple always lags behind on hardware… and charges more. Starting to reach my wits end with Apple.
