Obviously depends on the person, but I like to shuffle all of the songs in my library and listen to stuff I don't typically hear or even remember I have.

Yes, anything that uses data costs money typically. I considered T-Mobile for this reason, but I wouldn't want to rely on their network for my music. Still prefer to have everything local on my iPhone.
Yes, data costs as well as streaming services have a monthly cost. Sure you could use free streaming services but those have caveats such as ads or lower quality sound.
you should switch to tmobile. they don't charge anything for streaming. much better customer care than either att or verizon, too.
Thanks, I'm aware of what is offered by T-Mobile. T-Mobile would actually be more expensive for what I get on Verizon ever since they moved to this T-Mobile One plan.
Also, I have enough data to where I'm not effected like the poster had mentioned. I never go over my data with my usage.
92GB of offline Google Play Music most of it not mine.
cheers
ps
feel sorry for the spotify 3333 track rule I must have past that a while back!

I will never understand these types of posts. Same thing with people arguing why/why not use a case or screen protector. Use what you like and what works for you. The only reason people argue about what someone else should like is because they're trying to justify their own decisions. "You do you and I'll do me."
To those of you who have thousands of songs on your phone, are all of them purchased from iTunes? Or do you have another method of obtaining music? I'm new to the iPhone, so I'm not aware of the options besides iTunes or music streaming. I'm not interested in any pirating sites, only legitimate methods.
If you're new to iTunes, iPhone, etc you can rip your old cds into iTunes. That's how I accumulated most of my music years ago. I don't really buy music anymore unless it's a single song I like.
0 effect on apps/games. only on write speeds like transferring 4K videos, restoring etc.
They don't have signal where I work, either.

Not really. You're bottlenecked by either USB 2.0 or wifi/internet when transferring or doing backup/restore to Mac/PC or iCloud. Real-world use, pretty much the only time it matters is when doing large file copies on internal NAND (e.g. exporting multi-GB files from one app to another).

If he plays GTA san andreas on his 256 GB iphone 7 compared to a 32GB 7, there will be no difference.
If he transfers a 5 minute 4K video, it will be faster on the 256Gb.
Discussing and arguing are not the same. I was talking about people asking a question, then arguing that you should do what they do. Not only this thread. There have been so many posts where someone asks whether or not you're using a case/screen protector, then says you're wrong and should be/shouldn't be.
Yeah, should be pretty negligible difference on most apps and games.
As for transfers, that depends on where he's transferring the 4K video to. From iPhone to iTunes or iCloud, bottleneck is USB or wifi/internet connection (read speeds in excess of 300MB/s on all models, iirc). It would be the same speed whether you have 32GB or 256GB. Transferring from Mac/PC to iPhone, higher capacity models may be faster depending on overhead.
how does this affect me. jc. I only use my iphone for apps, games, music, basic phone stuff, some pictures, little video. I used a 64GB 6 and 6S and never even came close to 20gb used.
6 movies at 30gb, 65gb photos, 20gb music, and the start of recording in 4K.
It's a total waste to me to be so limited as to what you would have on your phone available at any given moment since the space is there.
When I hit shuffle all music, it's a pretty pleasant surprise to hear songs pop up that I don't normally play or listen to.

I just use apple music. Worth it to me.
as mentioned 4K videos and live photos do make a difference.
I have a rather large music collection. I used to have several 100s of CDs (back in the days) and I have kept them on all of my devices ever since I was 18 and obtained my first laptop. This accounts for near a 100GB, however I also use Apple Music. I spend quite a bit of time underground (subway) during my commute, so I prefer not to stream.
I also just like having more storage than I need, seeing as I can't upgrade storage later on. My storage is mostly used for games and music. I don't keep many videos on my device, however I do keep my pictures (not that it's taking up much space).

Excuse me, would you mind sharing what is your FLAC music player of choice? Thank you.
