iPhone 16 Pro Max What storage size should I choose?

[lenuxfrance]

Hello everyone
Currently I have an iPhone XS in 64 Gb it is really too little and it is tired.
I'd like to buy an iPhone 16 pro max in either 256 or 512 gb.
I use it to play a bit and above all to empty my Gopro, Meta scope and make videos and photos of my trips and week in the snow.
I don't want to make the same mistake as I'm going on a trip to the USA in 50 days. I want to make the most of it because it's cheaper there and above all I can afford to buy more seats.
I have a 2TB iCloud subscription
What will you do for me?
Thank you

Only you know how much storage you'll need based on how big your gopro files are etc.

You'll figure it out.

It's fairly simple, if you have the money 512 will cover you I'd imagine.

Make sure the US phone will work in the country you are in (cellular can differ).
One big difference between the US phones and the rest of the world is that they have no SIM-card slot.

Assurez-vous que le téléphone américain fonctionnera dans le pays dans lequel vous vous trouvez (le réseau cellulaire peut différer).
Une grande différence entre les téléphones américains et ceux du reste du monde est qu’ils n’ont pas de fente pour carte SIM.

J'ai vérifié qu'ils sont 100% compatibles avec les fréquences en France.

Another aspect is that it could be tricky to sell it on since it doesn't have a sim-card slot.
But, to be fair, we are moving towards e-sim and in 3-4 years I suspect the regular sim-cards not being something that people care about.

Un autre aspect est qu’il pourrait être difficile de le revendre car il ne dispose pas d’un emplacement pour carte SIM.
Mais, pour être juste, nous nous dirigeons vers l’e-SIM et dans 3-4 ans, je soupçonne que les cartes SIM classiques ne seront plus quelque chose qui intéresse les gens.

In France we have SFR , Orange , Free and Bouygues as main operators and they all make the esim
Apart from the 1-year warranty in the US and 2 years in France, there's nothing that changes.
American models are more complete in terms of frequency than French or European phones.
I already bought eh Florida an iPad mini and a MacBook Air M1 (Walmart 699 usd) no worries in France

1 exabyte should suffice
