How would you use 128 GB on an iPhone?

To store photos and videos. It would be nice not to open my camera only to find the storage full message every time.
Mostly music. I had to lower the audio quality to get the music I want on my phone to fit so the first thing I'd do is bump that up. I also have a few movies (mostly for the kids) in the cloud I'd download to the phone (and maybe add a few of my own favorites).
It's not so much that I need 128GB now but knowing that if I need it in the next 2 years it'll be there.

If they offer a 128gb at the 64 price, I'd end up with the 64 at the 32gb price.
I've downloaded a few "hd" games that are rather large in size...when i go somewhere, I usually delete these so I have room for photos and videos...those two especially eat up space.

I like lossless music. It gobbles up space. As I rip more of my library lossless, and my photo library grows (not iPhone shots, but processed DSLR shots), my 64 is filling up fast. Even my iPad mini 128 has only 5.5 gig free. It has some music videos on it, but I quit storing movies on it because I never watched them.
Photos and Videos that amass over time.
Especially for me.
Lets just say I spend a lot of time using the camera feature due to being photogenic

At 128GB, I would have to consider if it was worth carrying my iPod classic along for my music anymore for daily use anyways. Not a lot of apps so that would not be a problem and most of my photography is done with my DSLR. Guess music would be the biggest use.
I have about 45gb of music on my 5s. The only other thing that really takes up space would be pictures and video.
I don't need the 128gb but I probably would get it if it does come out. I can always put movies/concerts/tv shows on it for those really down times

If the 5.5" does indeed come out and I decide on it, this will most likely take the place of my iPad mini for sure.
I have a 32GB now and for me 64GB would be the sweet spot, I say that now ... , this may change with Apple's new photo in the cloud thing.
iTunes match has been great because I have about 75GB of music available on my phone without storing on my phone.

I'd replace all the music albums I keep deleting to make room for new stuff I want to listen to.
I'd replace a bunch of photos and family videos I had to delete to make room for new photos and family videos.
My 64GB 5S is always packed tight. Right now, it has 111MB free, not even enough to run an update without deleting more stuff to make room.

More storage the better. IPhone 5S has 64gb & iPad mini with retina has 128gb, use much of it. Never have enough storage.
All I know is that my 64 GB iPad is completely full, and I don't have my TV shows on it, and I constantly have to delete apps because new ones can take up to a couple of GB...128 GB would at least make it so I don't have to delete things anymore.
I have 300GB+ of music... I need two iPod Classics. A 32GB phone is fine for me. I have a DSLR for photography and I don't see why/how people put their shots on their phones, mine go onto my 3TB hard drive.
Definitely wouldn't worry about anything like videos and such. I'd actually sync my entire photo library to the phone (have great photos from my travels). I'm currently rocking a 16GB iPhone and mini, so the next ones will probably be a 32GB iPhone 6 and maybe a 64GB iPad mini, either 2 or 3, whichever I'm willing to do according to my pocketbook.
Yes it would. The current gen iPhone has a 1136x640 resolution. 720p/HD means that the height of the screen (in landscape mode, other width in portrait) has 720-1079 pixels (after that, Full-HD/1080p and on). The iPhone does NOT have even an HD screen.
4k displays have heights of over 2,000 pixels. If the iPhone can only display 640 pixels, then you will notice NO additional detail whether it be HD or 4k, since the iPhone can't display even 720 pixels high anyway.
I'd be hard pressed if I'm honest. I'm not even using 128 GB on my computer. Since the advent of cloud computing, I have next to no large files actually sitting on my computer. Since I have an iPad I won't be using my iPhone for any significant gaming either, can't think of a single reason for myself to go big on storage.
I think 64GB storage capacity is maximum enough most of the persons, personally for me 64GB is enough, 20GB for music, 15 GB for photos and videos.
