iPhone 12 Pro [MAX] Who needs 512GB and who doesn't?

[Rockadile]

4K videos on my 11 Pro Max run in the ~95 Mbs range. Let's call it 100 Mbs. That's 12.5 MB/s, 750 MB minute, 45 GB an hour, or 11 hours total for 512 GB. That's with no space for applications, or photos, or any other data. Since I also keep my iTunes library there, that's another 270 GB.

When traveling Internationally in a lot of locations an iPhone won't backup to iCloud due to a slow internet. Every night I back up to my 1 TB iPad.

I have been hoping for a 1 TB iPhone for several years now.

It will also take you around 3.5 hours to transfer those 11 video hours to the iPad 😂

Scratching my head on why the iPhone 12 is still using Lightning (USB 2) when it's video features are touted to videographers.

I have a 256 XS and this thread made me look at my usage, was shocked to see I still have 218gb free

I have a lot of apps, with some that I haven't touched in years, thousands of photos, but I guess the key is that I have very few videos (about a dozen) and music is mostly streamed (Spotify). I guess 128GB would have been more than enough for me but IIRC I don't think the XS had 128 as an option. Glad they have 128 this time around.

I'm very glad Apple stopped that 64/256/512 memory gap shenanigans.
