I guess I just like to give my money to Apple. I don't have a good reason for ordering the 1TB version (Pro in Sierra Blue) but I ordered it anyway. Now I am trying to find a good use for the extra storage space. Did anyone else do the same? 
Got a tip for us?

Sounds like you have buyers remorse. I don’t know what your financial situation is, but if I were you, I’d cancel the order and get 256gb.
Man, I used to get a lot of storage.. I had 512 iPhone 11 Pro Max. Got the 512 iPhone 12 Pro Max but had to return due to PWM. Got the 11 (Maybe one of my favorite iPhones ever), but I went with 256. And haven’t looked back… invest in iCloud storage.. 2tb of iCloud storage (nearly fully maxed out) and I still have 120gigs readily available. I would’ve went with 128 but I thought I might be pushing it with that thought lol
No, I got 256 which is about 100 more than I currently use.
I buy a new pro every year so if I suddenly need 8x the storage I can grab a 1tb next year.

Hardcore flex right here ladies and gents.I guess I just like to give my money to Apple. I don't have a good reason for ordering the 1TB version (Pro in Sierra Blue) but I ordered it anyway. Now I am trying to find a good use for the extra storage space. Did anyone else do the same?
I’ve always gotten the 256gb because 512gb was overkill. But for some reason I did 1TB as well. Do I need it? No. Will I use it? No. Will it lose major resell value? Yes. If it weren’t for the 100,000 point bonus on my chase card that this will give me i would have probably stuck with 256.
Just Wait for the “Hey guys my Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro Max 1Tb….” Posts lol
It is a lot of money (but I can afford it). If I cancel it then I will lose my place in line (and not get it next Friday). I think I may stick with it. It may come in handy to hold some of important laptop files or maybe the space will come in handy for ultra-hd movies.
I haven't upgraded in four years so it may be a while and this does future proof it (but I still don't have a really good reason for buying the most expensive one).
My 512GB 12 Pro Max is at over 400GB utilization. You can be guaranteed I pre-ordered the Pro Max 1TB.
Same here. I didn't have a good reason to upgrade but I have FOMO.
I always get the top model so that it sells faster privately later.
Weird reason to spend more money…LOL
I’ve never quite understood this. So if your iPhone storage is full iOS will free up space by basically removing pictures/videos and replacing them with thumbnails. But if you have 2tb full of content in the cloud that will still be A LOT of thumbnails to store locally no?
I just could not help but smile when I read your post!
I used to always get the 256 because I never thought 64gb would be enough. But when I got my 12PM I got 128gb and it’s got plenty of room. I’m just under 100gb free after 6 months of use. I stream music and shows and don’t store them locally unless I’m going for a long drive but then I remove afterwards. And I am pretty good about curating my photos library to get rid of random picture I take to show someone something. Turns out 64gb would have been plenty 😂
No one should really order more storage than they actually think they will use. If several people do that, then that prevents people who actually need that amount from getting their device sooner.
I like a lot of local content on my device. Ordered the 13 Pro Max 1TB Sierra Blue without hesitation.
lol those people will be fine
I assumed the TB option would be for pros that take raw footage and such. Turns out it’s for people that wanna store Apple Music’s library locally 😂
I wouldn’t recommend buying more storage than you need. It’s just a waste. A waste of money, a waste of carbon emissions, a waste of good NVMe storage…

I wish I could have tbh
I currently have the 256GB 12 Pro Max and will be upgrading to the 512GB 14 Pro Max next year. With all of the new camera features Apple keep adding, I’m going to have to upgrade my storage since my iPhone is my main camera.

I usually go with 256gb but I have a 3 month old and with all the pictures and videos I’m going to be taking and with lossless audio, I didn’t want to even think about storage issues with keeping the phone for 2 years.
