Since ProRes sucks the memory, I got a 512gb :)

Not that I’ll be using it much, but I do store a heap of movies, videos and photos as I work away which has no Cellular and crap WiFi
 
I’m surprised by the number of 1TB purchases! (Although the currrnt sample size of ‘8’ is not very many).
 
Had 256GB at my 12Pro. (95GB used)
Now ordered 128GB - will switch again next year for sure and so I can buy the 256 next year if necessary.
 
128Go

I never stock photos on my phone, only on external disc, so I get not much more than 5Go.
i keep only few apps on my phone, the best ones and used.

however, this year I take an iCloud subscription to upload saves and share easylier my photos to my pc.

i have an SE 64Go but only 30Go are used.

but due to the release of cinematic mode, Dolby vision and propres on new iPhones, I hesitate to take 256Go iPhone 13 pro. Annnnnnd it is too expensive to my so I chose the regular 13 with 128Go.

I wanted 256GB (Graphite Pro Max) but with errors and interrupted transactions trying to get my order to go through during the initial rush on Friday I ended up with an 4th - 11th Oct delivery estimate for my order whenn I finally managed to get it placed successfully. That bugged me so about 20 minutes later I placed a second order for the 128GB model because that was still showing as available for collection on 24-Sep. Once I was sure that my 128GB order had gone through I cancelled my order for the 256GB model on Friday evening.

I'm only using 52.7GB on my current 128GB 12 Pro Max. I do plan to download more of my music collection to my phone and start using higher bitrates so I expect to outgrow 128GB but I think I'll just about be OK for another year because I'm lazy and it will take me a while to get all my music files sorted out ready for download. Next year will absolutely definitely have to be at least 256GB though once I do start filling up my phone with higher bitrate music.
 
I'm still on the fence... I've had a 256 X for 3 years and used roughly 83GB. I could totally do some cleanup to bring that down further. I have a 200GB iCloud subscription that's running the background for my photos and offloading other data if necessary.

$100 for the 256 isn't a hardship, it just feels excessive if I'm not making use of that extra space. Anyone else torn?
 
256 is the just right number for me. I'll upgrade to 512 if Apple ever makes the base storage 256, but I have iCloud+ (family edition) too so I don't need that much space.

12PM on 128GB. For $4.16 a month went with 256GB. I have good space left but with a newborn (more pics and video) I rather play it safe on the 13PM. Yes I’m on IUP.
 
I have 200 left on my current 512 so that's what I went with. I'm sure I'll have to go bigger next time.
 
Did wana have a 256gb one, but came money short so went with the 128gb one. I have a 128gb 12 pro and have still 80gb space left so it should be fine.

but if i could miss the money, i would have gotten a 256gb.
 
Went with 1tb. I want to see how to get my music on it in Lossless if possible, I have a large collection so this size gives me a good option there. I also use the video camera a lot. I’m not far from filling my 512, so 1tb was a no brainer for me.

I'm almost at the capacity of my iPhone X 64GB so I could have gone with 128GB but with the 256GB option on the 13 Pro just $100 more I figured it was worth it to have a bit more room.
 
I’ve got 91GB left on my current 128GB phone so went for 128 again. I shouldn’t get close as we stream pretty much everything and it forces me to go through the photos every few months to save the best and get rid of the other 23 almost identical versions.
 
Got the 256gb….right now rocking the Iphone Pro Max 12 512GB but only using like 112GB. Decided to get the 13 pro so I can switch up when I want a big or small phone.
