Nobody NEEDS an iPhone either, we buy one because We can and we want.
I have a few apps that are over 1GB each, 16GB isn't going to cut it for what I want.
And it's quite good to have that ability. That way I'm not having to plan out what goes on and what doesn't. Nor am I going to be on a plane without WiFi, wishing I had downloaded x song, move or video before I left.
I had the 32GB 4, upgraded to a 64GB 4S.
I won't knock the people who got the 1GB models though. People use their phones differently. Some don't even bother to store media on it and even 8GB would be a lot to them.
Quite surprised to see the 64GB option with the most votes so far to be honest.
I have 750g hard drive on my computer and have no need to to try and store my entire life on my phone,
(so 16g is plenty for me).
I think most peeps that fill up a 64g iphone do it cause they can, not because they need to.![]()
Myself included.Quite surprised to see the 64GB option with the most votes so far to be honest.
My att store sold way more 16g and most cell phone stores ran out of 16g right away stating they only had 64g phones left.
Anyone know what Apple's sales numbers actually are?
I could "make do" with 16GB. I could change out stored music regularly (instead of loading my whole 14GB library), and/or downconvert my music to 128Kbps, and/or use iTunes in the Cloud (kind of a data hog, I'm not on unlimited). I could delete some apps and load them only when I anticipate using them (e.g. Audubon Birds is 700MB, Crystal Bridges art museum guide is 500MB, Garmin USA is 2.2GB). I could be more selective about photos/videos that I keep on the phone, move all photos I want to be able to show people up to Facebook and all videos up to Youtube (the data issue is a concern again).
You sure know how to complicate things Sean![]()
16GB, i don't keep enough videos/music/apps on my phone to use up 16GB
Right now i have about 4.3GB free so plenty of space free.
I agree. I have about 10GB free. iTunes Match made it easier for me to rotate music on the go.
If anyone had asked me, I would have thought the 32GB would have been the more popular choice.
I would have guessed 32GB would be the least popular. If you're willing to pay for more storage, $100 gets you 16GB - and another $100 gets you another 32GB. I would expect that most buyers who are willing to spend extra, would max it out & get the best bang for the buck.
I'm surprised to see 64GB in the lead too but perhaps it just points to the more technical slant of MacRumors members. I certainly don't think that Apple has sold more 64GB phones than 16GB (though maybe they sold more 64GB than they expected to).
I should have clarified, there is no point in paying $100 extra for 16Gb for ME. I listen to the same music all the time and I have unlimited data for music match and spotify.
I thought there would be a much larger spread between the choices, and like others I'm surprised by the fact that 64 gig is the most chosen. I thought the 32 gig would be.
I'm not. The polling sample only includes MacRumors forum users who are likely to be enthusiasts. If you're expecting the poll to represent the overall iPhone user base then you probably would be surprised. Keep in mind that any discussion forum polling like this doesn't include a statistically significant sample that also represents all users out there. It's a common mistake.Quite surprised to see the 64GB option with the most votes so far to be honest.
i will go 64 GB , battery much better
