People who bought an iPhone with storage less than 128 GB, do you regret it?
I own a 128gb and I’m fine. I utilize Google photos, I don’t have any downloaded music (I stream it) and I don’t use a ton of apps. I’m barely over 100gb of storage still. No regrets. Edit: I’m still over 100gb of internal storage on my iPhone lol More on reddit.com

April 6, 2025 -

When it comes to buying a device with a storage unit, the temptation is always to get the one with the most storage space, because we don't want to run out of space, do we?

But how much storage do you need? Here's a quick explanation of the different storage capacities:

64GB: Limited storage. Not enough for some iPhone users.

128GB: Enough for basic use. Not enough for some iPhone users who regularly take photos, download songs, games, and videos, and install lots of apps. In a month and a half of using my iPhone 15+, I have filled up about 45GB of storage space. I don't even know if that'll be enough for 3 or more years, because it fills up so quickly.

256GB: Enough for the average user, but some users tend to go for 512GB.

512GB: Store and save your entire photos, video,s and movies and large files with ease on your phone.

1TB: Unlimited. Never worry about storage space and store your photos, videos , movies, games, large files for several years, or even longer.
