Over Half of Prospective iPhone X Buyers Surveyed Plan to Choose 256GB Storage

But smart of Apple to remove the 128GB option; forced to choose between 64 and 256GB, many more are going to go for 256 than would, if the 128GB option had been available. Not so great for us.
To store music, movies, photos and homemade videos on. With AR apps and 4K at 60fps video recording more space will be taken up.
I think it’s going to be like 75% -25% favored the 256 gigs.. you quadruple your storage for a few bucks more. If I’m spending a grand. What’s another 100 bucks or so...
That's just dumb. I'm guessing you have no engineering background at all. You simply can't have wireless power where you can magically beam electricity across the room in an safe and efficient manner.
But how many would have bought an updated 4" phone, the fabled iPhone SE-X?
well duh, apple forced them too but offering no 128. No one wants that little of storage on a phone with no room for expansion.
i'm buying 64gb, i have 200gb of icloud family storage. my 128 7+ is empty
That's interesting .... reading on here, I thought the 8/Plus was a dead goose and I and about 10 others were the only people on the planet that wanted one 
Everyone is waiting for the X, except 72 people out of 100

With photos/videos on iOS 11 using more intense compression, HVEC Or whatever, 64 may be more like 128 assuming one has a light roster of apps (and a healthy amount of optimism)
I think 64 would be for me.
1149+tax is psychologically too much for me for a phone. It's not that I can't afford it, it's that I don't want to buy it
But I agree should have been 128 for the money. Absurd but typical apple bean counting
"46 percent of a larger pool of 4,196 respondents said wireless charging is iPhone X's most attractive feature. "
Are these same people so stupid that they don't know but 8's are capable of wireless charging?

~1500 for a phone... this is normal..
1,149
199 apple care
~8% tax..
I just had the battery in my iPhone 6 replaced over the weekend. Hope to get at least another two good years out of it now. No way I could justify that kind of money on a phone...
The real breakdown that I am interested in is how many of each they are gonna produce. This is pre release hype that has no bearing on what we can purchase.
iPhone 8 Plus 256GB Here.
I upgraded for the A11 + Camera Improvements + True Tone. That isn't listed in the survey. I'm not surprised to see AR/VR so low. It's a great new way to interface with technology but there is still a lot of work to do here for normal people to see the benefits.

They were only asked what was attractive about the X. We don't know if they also ranked wireless charging high for other phones as well. I would think so, since a survey like this would list the features, not ask out of the blue.
Good catch. If the 8 isn't selling well with 37% saying they'll buy one, then this survey says the X will sell even less well with only 28% saying they'll buy one.
It'll be interesting to see what actually happens.
5% for 6s+ and 4% for 6s
3% for SE
we're talking about devices that are 2 years old, and in case of SE, 1.5 years crammed in a body that's 5 years old.
There is plenty more demand for 4" just not the current 4" model
65% of people want a 2017 model (8/8+/X combined)
12% is pretty paltry for 7 and 7+ equally and 24% combined, too
Not surprised that fewer people want even older devices In case of A9 devices
Well I for one am stunned that this is the biggest attraction amongst those polled. All the amazing technology in the iPhone X and these people are most impressed by a simple coil of wire!
Just wait until they see the reality of charging wirelessly versus using the fast-charging via cable and we'll see which they prefer...
Hey guys, so we all love wireless charging and it's not a stupid gimmick anymore because it's on the iPhone now, right? Yaayyyy!
Apple sure knows how to price gouge when it comes to pricing for storage. It's almost as bad as Disney World when you pay $12.00 for a cheeseburger with no drink and you pay it but you really don't want to.
