Wow two base storage bumps in as many years, iP7 went to 32GB base last year and now 64GB base. Apple shouldn't be so generous lol.
You don't have hardware acceleration needed to play it smoothly. Playback has nothing to do with storage space.
You people seem to forget that the average person on MacRumors is not the average person. MOST people buy an iPhone and don't use it anywhere near to their full capabilities. Thus, 64GB is more than enough for the average person.
Hmmmm good point. I was thinking 256 would be plenty. I'll probably still just go with 256 or even 64 since 512 would likely be waaaaay to expensive for my liking. Just sync my rated/loved music.512 would be awesome. I could hold all my music again.
I just tried an h.265 4K video on my 2014 MBP 13" and it was stuttery as f@@K, so it's not the nirvana answer to everything... It's only good if everything you own supports it.
Apple screwed consumers with the 16gb phone for YEARS but in one year they go from 256gb to 512gb?
What a company...![]()
Who needs ****in 256GB or even 512GB in a smartphone?
Even some of new MacBooks got less that that!
I still have more than enough with my iPhone SE 16GB.
Never needed more.
Those people who transfer ALL music to their iPhones are SICK.
Why dont you just stream? Use Apple Music, use amazon prime, soundcloud whatever!
I wonder why people still download instead of streaming.
And with the iCloud and other clouds, nobody needs to save all the stuff local on the phone.
Just backup in the cloud all of your ****in photos, videos, music whatever.
Did they force you to buy the 16gb? Gun point? By knife? Just curious
Barely passable? What are you recording, your whole day? I think the battery runs out before your memory is full. Also cloud storage.
Cloud storage? When you're in the middle of nowhere? How long do you think it takes to upload 64GB of 4K video to the cloud at 1 bytes per second? A thousand years.
Just do 128/256/512. Apple are so petty lmao.
iPhone 6S: 16/64/128
iPhone 7: 32/128/256
iPhone 8: 64/256/512
Apple, I like what you are doin'
What is it you like? Increasing the base storage or increasing the base price?
Base price for an iPhone use to be $650 usd, then when the plus got released the base price went up to $770. Now it is rumored to start at $1000.
Yeah there is still the $650 model but that has been same design for 3 years now and features are being held back so they can go in the more expensive models. When features are held back, the "new base " model is the $1000 one.
so tired of all these rumours and see that chi min kuo dude's name is everything
