In the market for a new phone and don't want to spend money on the extra storage. Quick question...if we are allowed to transfer images and videos to USB, is anyone really going to be forking out hundreds to get 512 gb or 1 tb? I can't justify this since I use a USB to transfer from my Android and its quick. Will the process be similar with Apple?



Second part...how much can we record full quality on 256 gb? Assuming half the capacity (maybe 100 gb) due to iOS and software.
 
You won't be able to transfer photos and videos to external storage as easily as you might expect. Photos and videos have to be copied over to Files which then need to be moved to external storage. Then you need to delete the media from the Photos app. There is no way to do the reverse and import media back to the Photos app.
