Hello everyone!
I’m currently considering to get an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and I'm trying to decide between the 256GB and 512GB storage options. Some say that 256GB is more than enough, but on the other hand, I saw plenty reviews, where a person had to get a new phone only because of the lack of storage on the old phone. I’m planning to keep my new phone for few years and hoping that I’ll have enough storage for this time period and I won’t be worried that I’ll run out of space.
I’d like to get your insights on situations where a large amount of storage on the phone would be necessary, especially considering the availability of an iCloud storage options. If you got 512GB or 1TB of storage on your iPhone, what factors influenced your decision? Do you prefer to rely only on the phone storage and don’t use iCloud? But that way there’s always the risk that you’ll lose all your data if something happens to your phone, right? Or do you backup everything on iCloud anyway? Then you’re forced to get bigger iCloud storage as well.
And also, the new iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max support external hard drive connectivity for video recording. I was wondering, do they support only ProRes video recording directly onto an external hard drive or you can record any video that way? So, if I get it right, the external drive is one more way to save space on your phone? You can just transfer photo and video materials to it?
So, who needs more than 256GB? Maybe someone who prefers to have all the photos and videos available on their phone? Or do you think that in the near future, 256GB of storage may not be enough as memory requirements keep increasing?
And which iPhone storage size option would you recommend to get according to your experience?
