How much of memory do you actually use? 64GB?

Currently using 1.2GB on a 32GB (28.3GB really) iPhone 4.
Took all my music off to see if I could stream all my music
for a month. So far so good. I will get the 16GB next time
to save a little money but also cause I don't use it. My iPad
is 32GB so I can transfer pictures when I'm on vacation.
 
7GB left on my 32 GB iPhone 4. I could definitely fill it up if I want to but I probably only listen to 10% of the stuff on there now. I have more than that for when I am on long drives because throwing it on shuffle keeps me entertained by hearing music I haven't listened to in a while
 
My phone is full, I just had to take some music out to get an app I wanted. My 64 gb iPad is just about right, I do what I want and have some movies in it on top of that.
 
I don't have an iPhone yet, but am hoping for a 64 GB model this fall.

My 64 GB iPod Touch is nearly full at the moment with only 2.9 GB free.

Obviously I don't listen to all my songs or use all my apps in one day, but when I do listen to music, I listen to it on shuffle, and I just like having all of my music there.

47.7 GB Music, 7.5 GB Apps
There is a good amount of kids music and apps on my iPod that won't be going on my iPhone, so take away about 5 GB for music, and possibly half of the apps.
Maybe that'll clear some space for some music videos. Or, just gives me room to expand my music library.
 
currently 739MB free on my 32GB. i really struggle with space. mostly due to music (i don't have very many games/apps). i'm at the point now to where i go through the lengthy process of down-sampling my 256kbs to 160kbs, which sucks. the sound quality if acceptable, but i have to back up all the original versions, match the songs in playlists, and now a bunch of my album art is messed up (only on the iPhone).
when iOS5 comes i'll set up my iPhone as new again and that will hopefully sort it out. i'll loose all the app data i do have though, which sucks. i have tried removing all music and syncing it back, but that didn't fix the problem. there is also approx 1GB "missing" - it says i have more audio than i do.
so yeah, i have space issues...
 
Have just about 18GB available on my 32GB iPhone 4. I could probably be fine with a 16GB, but decided I wanted to have room. With that said, 32GB seems to be perfect for me. I don't see myself really needing 64GB.
 
Have about 10GB left on 32GB iPhone 4. Lots of apps and lots of music. The music had to be downgraded to 128 kbps in order to save space. Without this downgrading, I'd probably have about 5-7GB left? I'd also like to start toting around some movies as well for those long boring dry spells. Bottom line though, I'll always get the highest capacity model just because I like knowing there's plenty of free space for photos/videos as well as pretty much anything else I want on my phone.
 
I have over 200 gb of music, tons of apps, 25 gb of photos and so many videos that I can't even begin to guess how much space they are taking.

For my family, space is never an issue (5x 32gb iphone 4). Everyone has ~10 gb of music (I believe that equates to something like 3 days of music) all the apps they want and 2-3 movies to watch when they are bored. We just sync 2-4 times a month. I believe all the phones have >5gb of free space at any given time.

I doubt anything would change for me if we had 64 phones. MAYBE my wife would carry around the entire photo libary, but for me 32 is getting the job done with plenty of space to spare.

Will love when wireless sync is available in iOS 5.
 
I would love to have a 64 gb iPhone, heck, even more if possible. Like others, I have a lot of music, movies, and apps. Plus I use the camera quite a bit for HD video and photos.

iCloud seems great in theory but data charges are way too high when you don't have wifi and I'm pretty sure the battery will die out much faster
 
16GB always full. I just have about 5GB of music and pictures, the rest is taken up by apps. specially anoying are ther almost 1GB Gameloft games

I have to always delete something when installing a new app. Capcom, Square, etc. make large games with great graphics, yet all their games are small in size but GL games are way bloated even if they are short.
 
I could work with 16GB, but I'm much more comfortable with 32GB. If they made a 64GB version, I'd probably still go with 32GB.
Currently have 16.8GB free on my 32GB (29.3GB) iPhone. There's a couple things I want to load up on my phone that I have taken out though.
 
I have 17gb available out of 29gb. I knew I wouldn't need that much space, but the only reason I bought 32gb is because I'm shallow and I wanted the "best" out there =/
 
I guess it all comes down to preference, and availability.

For me, i usually sync with iTunes every night, this way I keep my iPhone maintained, and carry whatever i need.

For the people traveling with lots of music in their iPhone, do you guys see yourself making use of iTunes Match? Do you think this is Apple's response to the lack of a 64GB?
 
My 16GB is pretty much full. I leave 3GB for videos and those damn Infinity Blade updates, and all my songs are compressed. I could do with 32GB, to be honest.

I, myself, have a 32GB iPhone just because I love to have all of my media with me at all times. Do I listen to every song I have? No. But there will be a day when I have a song stuck in my head and it will always be on my iPhone to listen to.

Exactly that! Even with 32GB there is still stuff I haven't been able to fit and just yesterday in the gym I was desperately looking for something only to realise that it was in the "can't fit it on my phone" group.

I was disappointed that the new iCloud music match service only has the option to convert to 256kbs because even to get what I have now onto my phone means I encode at 128kbs so even if the next iPhone jumps the capacity to 64GB I'd end up with the same capacity issue if I wanted to use musicmatch. To meet my needs I need a 64GB iPhone if I stick with 128kbs encoding and a 128GB iPhone if I want to go to 256kbs encoding.

12 gigs free. All my music is on my 120GB iPod. If I was to listen to music on my phone, I just stream pandora.

Out of interest, would you consolidate down to a single device if an iPhone was to come out that had the capacity to host the entire contents of your iPod, and assuming that it wasn't totally silly money to buy it and that the audio quality was at least as good as your iPod?

my 16gb iphone is full of movies and apps mostly. very little music and photos. I regularly get popup alerts that Im running low on space... i would love 64gb!
 
I wonder what the chances are of Apple putting out a 64GB iPhone. I'm doubting it. Maybe with iCloud they won't feel the need to, but people have always talked about it.

I would get it. Need the space.
