Holy crapp... 6 GB of apps... what apps do you have that take so much space?
or is it that you have way to many apps and you seldom or never use most of them?
Especially with the new data limit plans (I'm forced to use those), I'm getting the 32gb.
Not only do I have 200gb+ of music, but I will want to take tv shows or movies with me on the go (instead of streaming them). I have just my most played music on my 8gb iPod and it's filled...I can't even put all the songs that have a 100+ playcount on there.
Thats what I was thinking about a lot. I looked in my iTunes and on my iPhone 2G I have like 3 videos with a total of 15 minutes totat between the 3 of them and they are over 300MB just for that. Im thinking with the HD recording on the iPhone it will be more than that for the same time so I will opt for 32GB.
And I just thought of this but being in college, all of my lectures are recorded videos and I want to be able to put them on my iPhone to watch/listen to so Im sure they will add up quickly.
Just think about this since you are expecting, when your baby is experiencing one of their 1st moments, do you want to risk reaching over to the iPhone, kick up video and have be full and can't record it. Is $100 worth that? Espcially since 720p video will be eating up more storage than we are all use to, this might happen with a 16gb. That's why I wnet with a 32GB.
I went home today and checked on this to see what I needed. I currently have a 32GB iPhone 3GS, and right away I had 12gb of free space. Ok, so do I have some stuff I need to trim?
I have an iPad so I really won't be watching movies or shows on the iPhone when I can just pull out the iPad. Check those are gone.
I had some apps I didn't use. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown = 650 MB WTF!?!? Gone.
Checked the box for my iPhone to convert the audio to 128 kbps when transferred to the phone. 8gb+ library went to 3.7 gb. WOW.
So what am I down to? About 5-7 GB of ACTUAL used space. Meaning I would have about 7-8 gb left over on the iPhone 4 16GB for photos, HD videos, and apps. If I run low on space, clear some of it off.
SO, I was on the fence before, but now looking at REALLY how much I need or should have on my iPhone, I can say that its not worth getting the 32GB for an extra $100 when I'm simply not going to use it. Some people argue that you'll figure out a way to use it, and I simply don't think I will get to that point. I only keep apps for the time I'm using them or playing them. Once I haven't touched them for 4-5 months (games) they go to iTunes. I am concerned on how large the photos will be now from the iPhone. They could be pretty large. I saw those photos that apple released were about 8mb, but I could be wrong.
Getting the 16GB is like buying a Ferrari and chopping the gas tank in half so it can only go half as far.
The 32Gb is a no-brainer!
You WILL eventually need the space!
32GB for sure, I am having to be selective now on my 16GB 3G S, and that isn't fun.
Anyone know about how much space HD recording will use per minute. 720P at 30fps... This is what's going to make me get a 32.

...and now that my 3G is almost at capacity (within a couple of hundred mb), it is slow as molasses (though I don't know if that has anything to do with it).
