My original question, which I've since deleted, was about your experience with iCloud downloads on a plane; not storage.
I've never had a problem with my iPhone while flying, be it storage or iCloud download related. Is that easier for you to understand?
Ive had a few phones with 128gb of storage inclidkng my s9+ and even with alot photos music and apps never used it all. Right now I've used 30gb of 128gb. The wife has 64gb on her LG v30 and isn't even close to max and never will be.
Just curious, who needs 256 or 512gb on a phone when most things are cloud storage based?

I will take your non answer as having nothing constructive to add about the actual topic. Your attempts at humor are cute, but not very well done.
Thats how Apple has been playing since their first iteration! Remember 4 GB Model????? LOL!
It's clear from your posts that you are very bothered and upset and put out by the fact that Apple is offering a 512GB storage option to those who want it, like me for the reasons posted in my reply here. Perhaps you should worry less about why other folks pick this or that option or this or that color or this or that model? I think you'll find life so much more enjoyable. Give it a try!
Life is good my friend. I'm not bothered by Apple's storage options at all. Stay on topic please, and don't forget to hug your terabytes of music before you tuck them in tonight
The final attempt:
Hey, I need an iPhone XS Max
You mean an iPhone for Christmas ?
No, the newest and greatest iPhone. The XS - just to the Max.
So which one ? The ten ?
Yes, the tennis max
But that’s a racket we don’t supply here...
No, an iPhone XS X Max
Duh ? An X or an Max ?
No an X Max !!
So, still X-mas, that is to be delivered before Newyear ?
No, an XMax with XS before that
So you want access to Christmas ?
Gee man, go **** yourself just skip it...

I really don't think it's as confusing as you think, and I don't mean that in a condescending way. I think price is the #1 driver, camera is probably second, and desire for a screen size/pocketability is probably third (in my selling experience). They have a few different options for different types of consumers, and people will be able to choose their models just fine.
That the Apple "MAGIC" BTW. It is not the mistake of the those who change their views in line with Apple's announcements!
i have 16gb on my iphone 6(yeah still), and i ran out of it 2 years ago lol
I hoped this Xr version would be the same size as iphone 7/8 but it looks its going to be even bigger than the X... screw that, even X is too big for my taste.
Exactly.
Appreciate it’s only anecdotally but lots of people in my social and professional circle have held off upgrading their iPhone last year and are now looking to get out of the ecosystem.
I’m already being asked to port my free app to Android and getting feedback to charge for it to cover the costs to me, as so many are disillusioned at Apple.
Reasons being that the line is confusing, they don’t want the lower priced phone as they feel they are missing features which is no-sell as even the lower price phones is premium priced, and that Tim, Phil and Eddy’s greed is just a little bit too naked now.
If pushed I’ve been recommending a Pixel but there really does need to be better competition as Apple really is ripe for the taking now.
Well with Apple you gotta "pay to play". This concept worked well for them in the last 10 years, since the competition was far behind. But in the year 2018/19? I doubt this will still work for them.
What I want to know is if we can have the iPhone SEx? Seems just about as logical as the other new names. Last time they called it the SE/30 instead, so maybe we could have the iPhone SE/30

Hahahah this is funny!
I would have thought Apple should have learnt from the confusion of having the 'New iPad' and the iPad 2. Not to mention then having the New New iPad (iPad 4) and the iPad 2.

There should be a Wiki for this, but:
A) Apps will continue to take up more storage as screen size and resolution increases (unless all apps start to utilize in-app rendering instead of PNG assets)
B) Local storage for apps (i.e. caching) can take up significant space to improve app performance or for offline use (i.e. music apps, audible, etc)
C) Your photos and videos are stored locally and backed up on the server side (i.e. cloud). Unless you want to re-download your photos every time, storing them locally is the fastest way to view, edit and share them
The rule of thumb is to purchase as much storage as you can afford. Also, the larger capacities typically use faster flash storage/RAM.
I am only staying with iOS because of my Mac, Apple Watch, and iPad.
Their watch game is ahead of everyone else in terms of health features. I paid like $100 for my AW Series 1 too.
Google has too many QC issues and their prices are too iphone like.
