I mean clearly I don’t have “extreme” amount of anything. I stream all my music and use some apps that I need on a regular basis. Optimise storage option also helps save memory by offloading apps that you don’t use regularly. Plus I don’t really have the time in the day to play games on my phone. So far it’s working out well for me.
10K photos! Wow thats allot.
I've got 64GB on my iPhone X. I managed to thin my storage down to 48GB to fit everything onto my phone when I got it over a year ago. After 14 months, I'm now at 54GB. I don't exactly have a comfortable amount of headroom, but I'm surviving just fine. It's not my main device so I don't really need that much storage on it. If I run out of room, I can always delete some old music.
My MBP has 2TB though. I keep everything I really need on that.

When it comes down to it, 64gb can be enough especially if you have unlimited data. But 256gb will prevent storage anxiety. With 256gb, I rarely check my storage.
I agree but at the same time it’s not worth paying $150 more for it. I usually got the base models but did end up getting the 128gb iPhone 6 Plus. Yeah I used a lot of the storage but I just stored movies and music on it. It was nice but not a necessity worth paying $200 more ( I think ?). It’s nice and all but I rather use my unlimited data since sprint never slows me down
This is me! I don’t use storage with unused data for the sake of it. Especially when there’s no issues with data usage.
Same here. I get frustrated when businesses don't have an app because using the mobile website is almost always inferior to an app for me.
You have an iPhone XR and Apple never even offered an option for a 32GB iPhone XR.
I only have little less than 3k of photos
But photos app stating that I have used 18 gb of storage😔
I think 256GB will keep be going when I upgrade this year too. I have 152GB left on my iPhone. I have over 112GB worth of films and TV shows but never download them on my iPhone. Will use them on my iPad but only time I need to download is on a plane which happens what once a year so really I can use watch them on data if I need to.
Same here. I download movies to my iPad Mini 5 to watch on a plane when I travel. But In don't keep them stored on there just download and delete as I watch them.
I need more than 64 but dont
Wanna spend 1000000000 for a phone I’ll replace in a year so I just manage

Yes I am barely over 32, and I could get under with some housekeeping easily. And this is pretty much the case most of the time. When you have more than plenty of storage, you think you can't last with less because you have no reason to try as long as you have plenty of room. Same thing with cellular data.
EDIT: And devs are as much to blame as users. Apps are lazily coded because devs don't have tight storage restrictions like we used to have. I remember when PCs had single digit MEGABYTES and now some can have TERABYTES.
I could make do but prefer not to. I find I like my minimum to be 128GB. Due to the way Apple does storage now, I'm on a 256GB 11 Pro Max.
It replaced my still perfectly functioning but terrible battery life 7 Plus. Which at the time I only was able to find the highest storage in for the jet black variety. So 256GB.
Just bought a mint but used iPad Pro 12.9 first generation 128GB W/C (Had the third gen but returned it. Didn't like the screen, feel, or lack of headphone jack and lightening port). I literally just wanted a bigger screen to watch things on, that was it.
My husband took my first gen 9.7 with only 32GB, it has W/C. He's using it for minimal things.
I can't honestly feel comfortable with anything under 128GB now.
