IPhone 12 mini 64gb upgrade to 128 or 256?
Upgrading iPhone Storage on a Budget - Any Experiences?
People who bought an iPhone with storage less than 128 GB, do you regret it?
Upgrading iPhone Storage from 64GB to 256GB - Anyone with Experience?
Hey All,
I've got an iPhone XR with the base 64GB storage, and I've been considering upgrading it to 256GB. In China, many repair shops offer this service for around 60 USD, which seems like a great deal compared to purchasing a new phone.
Has anyone here had experience with upgrading their iPhone's storage in a similar manner? Are there any specific sequences or steps I should be aware of? I'm a bit hesitant about tinkering with my phone, but the extra storage space would be a game-changer for me.
It's fascinating how this service is more accessible in China, and I'm wondering if any users from other parts of the world have managed to get this done reliably and at a reasonable cost. Please share your stories, advice, and any potential risks I should consider before taking the plunge.
Looking forward to hearing from the community! Thanks in advance for your insights. 📱💾
As the owner of a 128 gig 13 Pro Max, I kinda regret it.
I chose the Pro Max over the Pro, for the better battery (it has been widely commended by reviewers galore), but my dad’s company phone plan gave only two options for the Pro Max: either 128 gigs or 1 TB.
And since my dad had to pay extra for 1 TB, I went with 128 gigs
I thought it should be fine.
But I kinda start regretting it, especially because ProRes is limited in my iPhone (up to 1080p)
Right now what I do to conserve storage is not taking photos unless when needed, and then deleting them when their use is over. Also I don’t install unnecessary apps; I only keep what’s required.
As a result, I’ve only taken 31 photos in a span of a year and a half (I’m a student so I don’t need to take a lot)
My dad’s at an even worse situation
He uses a 11 Pro Max with 64 GB, and last I checked, he was running the phone with 600 MB of storage left, which is mental 💀
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Hey fellow Redditors,
I've been seeing that in China, there are repair shops offering the service of upgrading iPhone XR storage from 64GB to 256GB for around 60 USD. This sounds like an incredible deal considering the significant storage boost. I'm wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this service or knows about the feasibility of doing it yourself?
I'm especially curious about whether there are any sequences or steps that need to be followed for a successful upgrade. Are there any risks involved that I should be aware of? I'd love to hear from anyone who has gone through this process or knows someone who has.
Your insights and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge and experiences. 📱✨
