Keep the 64 gig. The extra storage will come in handy. Also, like was said before, resale value is better. In 2 months you probably won't miss the extra hundred bucks.
I had intentions of buying the space grey in 32gb but it was out of stock. The only option was 64gb. I know I could wait longer but I couldn't... I've been urging for a new phone for ages. I felt like I was in a rush attack.
However, I really don't know if it was worth chucking an extra $130 just for extra storage. I'm not even sure if I regret this purchase or know if I'm even happy with it. Is 64gb really that worth it or should I return it? I know it's always good to have more just incase, but do I really need it?
I really don't know what I'm doing... Any advice?
Anyone?
well have a two year old daughter which we are trying to capture all the moments. And I was excited when I heard that they were coming out with 128gb ihpones! because 64gb is not enough to hold all these photos and videos!
With two young children, I tend to take lots of pictures and videos, so 64GB is a no-brainer for me.
I don't think so unless you have more than 200 apps, carry downloaded movies or put a good amount of music.
I always get the biggest capacity, but it is a much poorer value when it comes time to resell or trade in the phone. My old 64GB ATT 4S was worth a $204 for trade-in from Apple, and this is about what Gazelle quoted me. This is nearly identical to what they offered folks for 16GB or 32GB models. So, the extrastorage costs 100 or 200 bucks more and that is generally not recouped.
Having said that, it's nice not to have to micromanage the storage as much.
But, it's less and less essential to have space on the phone. Music can be copied from the cloud from Apple (match), and apps can be cleared out (it took me a couple years to finally start deleting old paid apps that I outgrew or didn't like).
The biggest storage thing for me was movies--I used to rip my DVDs and add them to the phone. I really don't do this much any more, because it's so much easier to watch video streaming (netflix, from my home server, or whatever). One change Apple should make is to permit streaming of rented or purchased itunes movies--because copying them to the phone takes up an awful lot of storage space.
So I would recommend less storage for most folks...and for myself. I haven't taken the time to do it but I could probably get by with one step smaller...YMMV
Or like me takes too many photos and uses 18GB up just from that![]()
I wish they had a 24gb model.I will never need more than 16gb at this point so I went with that, I don't put a lot of music on my phone and never put movies on it, barely download apps too so always plenty of room.
You may be the complete opposite of me, so the 64gb might be worth it, maybe the 32gb is all you need.. But no one here can tell you since it's always down to personal experience.
dump them on a computer periodically and keep the ones you want in a photo stream
