I think I must have that too.
It is a one-time decision. You can't upgrade later so getting the most guarantees that you won't miss out on something you didn't imagine.
Got a tip for us?

Historically I’ve bought the most memory available. But 1 TB is overkill for me. I never get the money I spend on storage back at resell time.
I've owned the 256GB for the last few years and sadly have yet to come anywhere near to filling it. I 'want' a 1TB, but for what? Bragging rights?
For me, there's no point.....maybe someday....but not today...

I like to pull live shows from Dead and Company and Dave Matthews Band. Those WAV files take up space. 1TB it is!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?
No man has ever gotten richer from collecting points, just a bubble to make people spend more on stuff they don't need but hey, it's your money.
Music is very important to me and I have been wondering if I should have transferred my CDs to my iPhone in a loss-less format. I will need to look at how much more space they take up. I'd hate to go through that process again but I wonder how much I am missing out by listening to the compressed format.
That actually happened to me a year ago regarding raw footage. I video record my sons basketball games for scouting and prep purposes. I would have to delete something off my drive in order to record it since the files were so large, even at the smaller 1080P setting.
Unless you like storing videos in 4K. Really no need for any more than 256gb. Heck. I got 128gb now. I looked at my iPhone 12 Pro 256gb and I’ve only used 50gb (205gb free out of 256gb) with 140 apps and 2000 photos (I don’t take a lot of videos) and also have Amazon prime photos full resolution backup
so I got 128gb Sierra blue iPhone 13 pro max.

I didn't do it with my new phone order. I have a 512 11 PM and ordered a 512 13 PM. I still have 200GB available..... I was tempted to go 1TB.... and probably will next time I order a phone (either next year or 2023).
However I DID do it with my new iMac. Ordered a 2 TB solid state hard drive and once I got it realized that I already have all my stuff on multiple externals.... so kinda a waste of money.....
so I do know where you are coming from!

I’m pretty sure the space will translate to small differences in performance, but nothing mind blowing, I used to live in the 64GB camp, then with my 11PM finally moved to 256. It’s where I’ll stay for a while.
Don’t feel bad I had the 256gb 12 pro max and only used maybe 80GB of that storage. But I opted for the 1TB just because it was only an extra $100 I wanna say. It’s worth it
I always order the largest size hard drive that is available for an Apple computer. I find that the main reason I need a new computer is that I run out of hard drive space. I can tolerate a 'slower' computer for a while but when I run out of space to hold everything on the main drive (and start having to compress things) it is time for a new one.
1TB for me...because...well just because...just like some of you that have posted ...does it help that Im trading in my 12 Pro Max back to Apple for the first time?
I think the argument for computer storage is different than a phone though. If you keep your phone for 5+ years and use it for file storage in addition to music and media that’d be one thing but based on the majority of the people I see on these forums they’ll be talking about which new phone they’ll get and arguing over which color is the best. It’s your money to spend but it does seem to be excessive when you can’t think of a way to use all the storage
Ehh Besides the iPhone the rest of the stuff im using the card for are bills and necessities. As long as you do it wisely you can come out on top!
Just enjoy it and forget about the non-issue. You can afford it, then no more reasons are needed. You will find some good use for the extra room in the future.
1TB gets your bragging rights and I got to admit I wish I had the budget just because. Celebrate and just be happy!
Check current space allocation on your phone. Go a little above that. May not need to blow hundreds on phone upgrades. Spend it on a fancy drone To freak out your neighbors.
Between the 1TB iPhone and the new iPad Mini, my wallet is very thankful that the watch got delayed.
It depends how you will use your phone. For exemple I'm glad I bought a 1TB 2018 11' iPad Pro and I'm very happy with it. I use my iPad like a computer. Download a lot of stuff like TV shows, files etc. so if you plan to use your phone like this, 1TB can be very useful, otherwise, 256 is more than enough.
