Does anyone make a good phone that is the size of the 5S/SE anymore?
It seems like even the "small" versions of modern smartphones have grown quite a bit.
It's funny how Sony has the balls to use the term "compact"...
Got a tip for us?

Movies and TV shows. 35GB of Kindle content. 70GB of Audible. It adds up.
Very true. Perhaps Tim Cook has leaked all these things on purpose so at the end he can say 'Oh and there's one more thing....we'd like to announce Apple car'!
If you need 512GB of storage on your phone, you have mental health issues and are a storage hoarder. Plain and simple. Cue the lame excuses, however the first step in recovery is acceptance
You are probably right. Which is a shame.
But the XS "Max" has the wrong aspect ratio, 19.5:9 (2.17), when compared to the 4:3 (1.34) aspect ratio of the iPad mini when used for document/book reading.
If is just another money grab.
Guess Apple stopped caring about surprising consumers.
I was just thinking last night too, that no new iPad data leaked so they probably won't include them in today's releases.

Not all of us have huge data plans and the time for things to download.
For that matter, they might as well call them Galaxies (as a tribute to the inspirator: RAM, screen tech and size, bezels...)
You shouldn't need more than 32-64GB tops, with iCloud. People are insane about having the model with the largest amount of storage though, so they can brag to their friends. Weak.
My local music collection is 30GB alone. Not to mention that I like to take 4k60fps videos which take a lot of space.
Erm no
A lot of people store a huge amount of films/shows/files/downloads
It’s impossible to use 32GB even for those who don’t use it for much

If you have to store that many shows/movies/videos on your phone, again, you have problems. I know the truth hurts.
Right, a large portion of my library is old ripped music, mixtapes, and other music not on Apple Music. With the iTunes iCloud library you don't have to have them stored offline though, Apple will upload them to the cloud for you to play on any device.
But I think it requires an Apple Music subscription or Itunes Match purchase to get that feature though, so I can understand you not wanting to make that purchase. I think its a really convenient way to listen to my music though.

Whatever you say.
Thanks for demonstrating how much Jobs’ 5 years advantage got lamented

Yes... those files are huge. But do you leave them on the phone forever?
I mean... I get it. You want every photo and video you've ever taken on the phone to remain on the phone.
I just hope you have some sort of backup/redundancy plan though.
One drop on concrete and your video collection might be gone!
