For instance, just this morning we saw 48 megapixel proraw photos will be 80 megabytes! Whatever you thought you were fine with in the past, won’t be as adequate. Future proof!
Got a tip for us?

okay, Tim. Thanks for the upselling tip
Have a 512GB iPhone 13 Pro, and it’s filled. In fact I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to ‘free up space’… so awkward. Thank me later
Guess you don’t take any movies, listen to any lossless music… sounds like you don’t hardly use your phone? Go out in public? Idk you do you.
On launch day 13pm. 256gb with 135gb still available. I've only used proraw 2-3 times in the last 12 months. I will getting 14pm 256gb.
Current:
620 videos
15,921 photos
209 apps

Hey I can only try to warn… I’ve personally taken over 100 gigabytes of photos and videos in a single day on a 13 pro. I won’t be regretting my purchase this morning… sounds like others may be. Ymmv
You never fly on a plane? You never are without cell service? You delete everything off your phone immediately after you play it? Interesting…
I have 85gb available on my 128gb iPhone 12. Think I'll stick with 128gb thanks.
You realize that’s nothing really, right? I have 80k photos and 7k videos in my iCloud Photos library… I feel like people end up missing out on capturing life when they pick these low storage sizes… 128GB? LolSo 3000 ProRaw images on a 256GB phone.. That's fine
Well yeah, it’s harder to fill up with an iPhone 12… no ProRaw, no ProRes… I could go on and on. People had 64GB with their iPhone 7, don;t fill it up, and then upgrade and are shocked that technology has progressed and storage sizes for files blow them out of the water. I tried to warn ya
I got you beat with 88gb left on my 13 PM and that's with a ton of apps and a few photos.

No i don't take movies. And don't see why. Maybe i might download something on Netflix for a trip. But no need to keep them for normal usage.
I listen to ton of music, but over bluetooth. Makes no sense to use lossless files until we get lossless bluetooth.
I'm currently using about 45GB of space. Thanks to cloud services i don't need to have every song or picture in highest quality on my Phone at all times.
Personally i prefer to "capture life" by being present. A few pictures here and there as a reminder is nice, but constantly hanging on the Phone to capture the moment will actually take you out of it. I have about 5k Photos and i don't feel like i missed anything.
If only Apple introduce mini SD cars slots, but no, car crash detection is more usable day. 🙄
1tb is good for people who go to a concert and record the whole thing. Took my step son last Sunday to kid cuddi concert. I'm 40 he is 15. I listened to kid cuddi since day n nite. I was not on my phone. He was. Recorded the whole thing. over 500+ pics. The majority of the teenagers there did the same thing. How do people enjoy events anymore? I took 3-5 pics and 1-2 videos. Then enjoyed the concert while I drank some IPA.
I’m on the fence. I’ve had 256 for the past few years and it’s been great. I always have at least 100gb free, but I take tons of photos and use iCloud library so it’s always worked out. However I have been getting annoyed at having to “load” images and videos, so I have been considering going up to 512 so I can keep originals on my phone.
For an extra $200 to upsize my storage, I will happily just offload some photos if my phone if needed instead. 😬
I feel that for this phone, AT LEAST 512GB is necessary just for a decent experience. people here are going to be shocked later when they are full, can’t return the phone cause it’s 3 weeks into ownership… and then have to just deal with maxed storage for the life of the phone. Yikes
Whenever I buy a new iPhone I always get the highest capacity Apple offers.
Currently I have a 512GB iPhone 11 Pro Max. I'm going to have to be fine with 512GB because that's the highest capacity Apple offered for this model.
I have a 2TB iCloud sub and 4.1TB with Dropbox.
Despite your post I think I'm going to be fine
I mean I heard everything you said but… you never want to go back and re-live the moment? I do all the time, through my pictures and videos…. I’ve never once said “gosh, wish I didn’t have this visual memory of this important moment”
so busy capturing the moment that they are not actually living in the moment.
