I too am surprised at how many go for 256+ in storage. I don’t use much anyway but try to offload to iCloud where I can.
Got a tip for us?

Well with no expandable storage.
You're likely to go for the option thats overkill simply just in case.
128GB will be the sweet spot for many but Apple dont offer it on the Pro models at least.
I think 256 and 512 are over kill 128 is the sweet spot
256 with 206 free. It was 130 free before I restored in order jailbreak recently and I have no idea what was taking up all of that space 
128 with 35 available. That’s after some management when I was getting low. I know 128 is exactly the sweet spot for my needs. Less storage would be very problematic and more is unnecessary.
This is MR. If you go to the real world, lowest storage is bound to be the most popular.
How do you know what will be on those phones in the next few years?
How do you know they will have the same phone in the next few years?
iPhone 11 Pro Max 293gb of 512gb available.
I like having all my data on my phone instead of cloud because it’s a hassle to keep on downloading media on slow wifi when you need it.

Not the iPhone but on iPad, only have 88.9 GB free on 512 GB and stupid Photos app is stuck at "Downloading Originals". From experience, Photos can act wonky unless the device has 20% free space so that means I need to keep ~102 GB empty.
Oh, joy.
Oh, joy.

256GB 11 Pro Max, 103GB available. I could have managed with 128GB, but not available on the Pros. I find I’m more relaxed and download more stuff to keep on the iPhone
Just because people have not have loads on now they could add more as the year goes on
Even mine I’ve used up 90GB on films alone past few weeks
Yes, 128 GB is the sweet spot, i agree with that. And i do not have an idea if the iPhone users, who buy an iPhone with 512 GB, really need that, the answer is actually “No”, i believe; at least for most of them. Also it seems that would be nice if Apple had offered 128 GB storage for Pro models.
