What To Do With 128gb Of Storage?

I read most of your past comments.
You should consider a career in standup comedy.

I admire your ability to ignore the boundaries of the real world most of us are limited by. You go places. Take care.

You think a 1TB iPad or iPhone are out of the realm of possibility?

Remember when computers only had 640K of memory and one floppy drive?

Oh, it will come. It may take a while, but it will come. I shall have my terabyte iPad, even if it's the iPad XX.
 
I have a 32GB Nexus 5. I'm sure I would have been fine with 64GB, but for an extra $100 over the course of a year (or possibly two)... F it. I went 128GB. What will I do with all the space? I don't know... but I have it.
 
I can fit my ENTIRE library on a 128 GB phone...that includes over 50 movies. I don't need 50 movies on my iPhone, but it's go big or go home! :D
 
Ordered 128Gb 6+.

I am heavy on the photos and video, and al looking forward to the image stabilisation + battery life to capture lots of content!

Have emptied out my 32Gb iphone4s many times already. I also keep a bunch of my fav videos, pics, on phone for viewing, sharing with family and friends.
 
I have a MacBook Pro and a terabyte hard-drive/ a slew of mobile cloud apps like Dropbox/box/one drive I use Dropbox for tweaks and themes I'm working on and transferring movies, music and shows to from ifile. I use one drive's free 18gb to store all of my photos and videos I take with the camera app of wallpapers I download. I may get the 64gb 6+ but if I do I'm going to keep the phone for at least 2 years.
 
I can actually fit my lossless library on there now without having to create a new MP3 library just for my phone. I don't like streaming music and prefer to have all my music on the device. Plus the 6+ would be good for video watching and ebook reading.

I always get the largest capacity lol
 
I have a 64GB iPhone 5 now w/ only 13GB free space, mostly because of music. So I had to consider the 128GB when going to the 6. Even though it was only $100 more it wasn't a slam dunk decision for me. In fact, my desire to have a phone on Day 1 influenced my decision more than anything in the end to opt for 128 since it's not upgradable later.

As now, I will be loading more music on my phone and more complete albums vs. now where its more curated "best of" tracks. Honestly though I could live with 64GB but "fear" motivated me to go 128GB b/c I have to live with this phone for two years and $100 amortized over 24 months is just another $4 per month. Affordable for peace of mind, even if it turns to be unnecessary. If so, next time I'll go back to 64GB.
 
Synchronize a lot of Spotify, Deezer, or Qobuz.

I guess Apple would have to give away a ton of albums.

How big a lossless mp3? And what exactly does it do? Do you notice any difference with earphones?

No, Porn is not a medium which is needed to store, like youtube videos, people stream it.

And who would watch porn on a small 4.7-5.5 inch screen when people have like massive tvs?

Yeah, because you want to hit your data cap by streaming porn.

Obviously NOBODY would store video on a phone when it can be streamed. Because you say so.
 
I got 128 because I didn't want to feel constrained. The plus is an iPad micro to me, so I am loading content on it for work and play. The 6 plus is way more than a phone for me.
 
For many years a lot of us have had computers with 350 to 500 GB storage that we never came close to filling. Was nice to have just because. Todays cell phones are kind of the same thing, IMO.

And for some, we have multi-TB servers that need to be upgraded because of needing more storage. :rolleyes:
