Thanks for the detailed response. I have a iPod mini and an iPhone but I like having my full music library on both because I listen to music at work and also in case I forget to charge one of them, so that's why I was initially leaning towards the 64g. My Dad bought me the 32g, a nice case, and a car charger (which I'm returning because my car already has a hookup), so I'm set if I decide to stick with the 32g. It is more than double my current capacity, which is 13.3GB.

However you having only 5.7GB free on your touch is what worries me since I'll most likely add more songs and plan on doing alot of traveling next year (and in the years to follow, hopefully). How many GB does your music take up? My songs are all normal length, anywhere from 3-5 minutes and not mixes like yours. Your iPhone having that much space free is good to know, although I do have 3x the amount of songs. I guess I'm concerned about my future needs and the fact that you cannot add space if you want to later on down the road. The 32g does sound like a good option, but then this is my main electronic handheld device.



Was there a restocking fee when you exchanged it? How long of a trial period did you have before you exchanged it? Do you have a laptop/computer as well or is your iPad your "computer?"

Nope, I bought it at the Apple Store, Had it for one week, and I have a 2012 Retina Macbook Pro as well, but I really don't like taking it out in public due to the fear of it being stolen or damaged, plus it's huge lol. I already had a iPad Mini but liked the Retina version and found my self using the iPad more then my iPhone.
 
Do a 64gb the space seems endless I have. 1563: song 4k: pictures 121: apps (most are 50mb<) 1: movie 4.4gb and have 16.4 gigs left
 
Have you considered using something like Spotify Premium instead for your music? I used to have a 64GB iPhone 5 because I wanted to carry around all 30GB of my music, but started using Spotify, and now have a 16GB iPhone. Really is a great solution. :)

And no, I don't work for Spotify. I just love the service.

I don't like Spotify, I want to have all my music on my phone and not have to worry about having an internet connection. Plus the monthly fee is something I do not want to have to pay.

I just upgraded to an iPhone 5s 32gb. Now I'm thinking about returning it and getting a 64gb at BB. But do "I" really need that much space?

I use Google Music for my songs, this is my first iPhone. Anyways I have over 10,000 songs on there. iOS now has an app for that so I no longer would need to store music on my phone.

Once you take a photo or video, cant you just upload it to the iCloud? Then I could just delete it?

I'm just wondering if it's really worth going back to Best Buy for the extra GB. I don't know if they have a restocking fee or not and if so how much. Anyways, I have 15 days to return my phone, well 12 now.

I'm in the same dilemma, although I don't use google music just itunes. I may return it, not sure, I have until Jan 15th to decide. I'm not sure about the iCloud storage, I do know you get 5gb free but I'm not sure if you can upload videos and pics to it.

That's weird that there was no restocking fee.

Yea I am thinking about it, I'm eating into the extra GB I got from upgrading to the 32gb 5S from my old 16gb 4S.

Sweet 12GB is a lot of room.

Now I'm down to around 9.5-9.9gb (depending on if I keep some apps). And this is with only one video and 75 pics. I'd like to be able to store 1,000+ pics and like 20 videos, so I may return it for a 64gb because new iOS will take up more space. I don't know, I'm so indecisive about this hah. One part of me just wants to get the 64gb and not have to worry about running out of space, money is not a problem here.
