256 GB is good fit .... but too much $
This is going to be interesting to watch how the breakdown ends up being. I'm curious how the crowd waiting for the X will react to the two storage tiers.
 
I am sure some people have already done this, but i would like to know which option i should not try for during pre order...lol... I know it depends on carrier too but that's just too much work. lol.. You can reply your carrier if you want..
 
i thought the SG 256 model would be the hit so i was going to get a silver one. but at this point who knows..
 
The 256gb version with AC+ will cost me over 2000 CAD, i'll settle for the 64gb with AC+, it's 1800 CAD, but it's at least $200 cheaper
 
i think there were like 5 topics about this, sorry mate :)
most of them have been closed.

64 and 128...lol... i tried to search for some. So on that one the SG and Silver 256 seem to be liked the same...Only reason i have got silver before is everybody always wants the SG one. I only go to which one is less to be liked so i have more of a chance to get it on launch...lol

well its $150 difference for us. Are you coming from a 128 and downgrading? i have 100gb of data so i cant downgrade...(Hate you Apple for that) lol

I'm coming from a 64gb iphone 6, I'm currently using 14gb of it. So i hope i should be fine :D

You can just get a good case and put a tempered glass protector on the front, and save the $200 or put it towards the 256GB iPhone X. Also, you can look into getting third party insurance, which can be cheaper or offer protection against loss/theft along with accidental damage.

That's what i switched to, my mobile carrier insurance. $9 a month, and yes you get 2 per year even if stolen. They said they are not raising the price even with the X. but i doubt that!

I'm currently using 168GB of my 256GB 7 Plus, and 60fps 4K is only going to make that worse, haha. Definitely, definitely, need the 256GB.

The next item on the list is 3.85 GB for YouTube (I’m a Red subscriber and have a few playlists downloaded for times when I don’t have signal (flights, mountain drives, etc))

What’s the point of keeping all those photos and videos worth 80GBs stored locally? It’s not like you’re accessing/viewing all those photos and videos regularly. You can keep it on iCloud and let iOS cache frequently accessed photos and videos.

If I'm not mistaken wouldn't he have to pay for icloud because that is way over 5gb, who wants to pay more per month.

What is your usage breakdown like if you don’t mind?
 
Any good pictures of the SG X? I like that the sides are like the black stainless. Black definitely shows more finger prints though - noticed as I went looking at the iPhone 8 :)
 
256GB is a must have for me with the Files app and 4k60fps :D Getting Silver, love the whitish back and black front. Coming from a black 7 Plus.

It’s only £2.49/mo for 200GB.

One year cost would be £29.88, granted you upgrade yearly, you’ll save £130 by going this route as you won’t be spending £150 extra to get 256GB storage.

So basically, for the cost of storage upgrade, you can get 5 years of iCloud storage.
