iPhone 17 Pro Max How much storage are you choosing?

[memo90061]

How much storage are you choosing? I chose 1tb for the first time, but I'm only using 200gb because of 6tb iCloud storage.
I don't know if I should choose 512gb or 1tb... I prefer to have extra vs less space...

Just the base 256GB. It’s enough for my use and I’d rather not give Apple more money than I need to.

I tend to use more storage on iPads than on iPhones.

Still deciding between 256 and 512, I currently only use like 120 gigs but that is with all my photos and videos in iCloud (about ~90k items total so quite a lot). Not sure if I want to move up to 512 to have all my photos stored on my phone.. Anybody has any thoughts on the cons and pros of cloud vs. local storage?

I prefer to have local storage, but I'm already using 2.8tb for my pictures! I don't have space to have it on local storage.

I don't know why, but I picked 1TB on a 17 ProMax, Orange. I have a 14 ProMax now, with 512 and I am only using 1/2 of it, but figured that may not get a new phone for a while after this and having the extra storage may help.

Hmm. That's a good way to think about it! I should go with 1tb...

I picked the 256 GB one. My current 15 PM has the same amount, and so far so good. Have 60 GB left with tons of photos, videos, music and well over 150 apps (probably lots of those are never even used). I will do a little cleanup when upgrading, but I think I’ll be good.

I did hestitate a little, but then I saw the price and was like “Oh absolutely not that I’m going to pay that.”

Yeah that's my gripe too, I kinda want the 512 to be sure and maybe not be dependent on cloud storage but the price of upgrading a phone that's already so expensive.. it's hard to justify especially with the euro prices in the EU

I’ve had issues accessing iCloud photos when traveling overseas (unreliable internet) so I prefer local storage.

Then again, my entire iCloud Photo Library is less than 50GB so it’s doable even on 128GB.

1TB

I predict that you’ll be fine with 512 GB.

2TB.. Only because I’m wealthy

512 happy medium.
