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.
have you ever considered that not EVERYBODY can stream all the time.
As for my career, i spend a LOT of time on the road, and a lot of the time I'm out of range of most cellular service.
considering I'm usually driving back and forth from california or new mexico, or colorado and my home in arizona, with a lot of time passing through Yuma, or similarly desolate and empty places with little or no cellular service, usually on drives that can take upwards of 12-18 hours? am i supposed to BOW down to your standards of streaming and keep the same 1-2 playlists of a few hundreds songs downloaded?
I'm sorry but that does not work for me. i do a minimum of 30+ hours a week driving through no cell signal alone. i prefer to have a higher storage so i can keep a lot of my music stored for these specific times when i CANT stream constantly.
the same goes for my camera. i make a living off of exotic and local Fauna/reptiles/inverts, and if i happen to be taking a pit stop somewhere and run across a Rare centipede, or seldom scene tarantula or arachnid species, I'm going to stop and take some pictures and videos of it, and they are going to be in 4k.
and this is not counting the weekly/monthly trips i take out into the literal wilderness "herping". basicly going through the mountains and deserts, on foot with a group of fellow enthusiasts and breeders, looking for said rare fauna and invertebrates. how am i supposed to stream spotify or apple music while 5,000+ feet in elevation in the middle of a mountain range in the middle of the sonoran desert, literally hundreds of miles from he closest city or town with a cell tower? am i supposed to sacrifice and suffer, and spend time with an outdated SE 16gb like you, simply because you live a comfy life constantly tethered to your wifi?
I'm sorry but that simply is not acceptable. I like that Apple understands that not everybody is constantly sitting up home with wifi and cell service, some of us actually need the storage to keep our information.
