Other Am I the only one fine with 64GB?

[KUKitch]

Nope - 64 is plenty! Certainly wouldn't mind 512, but it's a good amount

 

[Shanghaichica]

I’m on 64GB Xs and have used up about 34GB so far.

Oh I thought you had the max!

64GB will be enough for most people. But 256 is the sweet spot for me.

Yeah it is the max.

 

[tarsins]

16GB used on my 64GB. Apple Music with 1 playlist downloaded and photos with Google Photos. Don't watch films on my phone.

 

[Kulfon]

I have a 64 gb 6s, only 20 gb used

 

[jbizzybeetle]

I'm looking at my 8 Plus's storage and realize I've only taken up maybe 26GB of storage. I'm thinking of getting the XS today but might stick with 64GB. Does anyone else feel the same? I tend to stream most of my media.

nope.

 

[adrianlondon]

I have a 16GB iPhone 6S. This thread annoys me. I dream of the day that I have apps without a "cloud" icon next to the name

 

[rmoliv]

I'm ok with 64 GB, only about 15 GB used so far. Xs Max.

 

[Jordan921]

You might be fine with 64gb but not others. Just get what works for you. For others 64gb is nowhere enough.

 

[unobtainium]

I embraced the cloud for photos, music and files, so the only thing taking space on my phone is apps. 64GB is more than enough for me now and Apple’s storage upgrades are ridiculously overpriced anyway.

 

[Mad4clay]

64 works for me too! Still have 30 gig left to use with thousands of pictures on board.

 

[CTHarrryH]

I could do with 32 gb - i have 42 unused on my 64.

 

[Southern Dad]

I have the 256 GB iPhone X but since starting to use more cloud storage, I only have used 56 GB. I may opt for a smaller one when I upgrade.

 

[MyMacintosh]

64 won’t cut it for me lol

 

[dogslobber]

I can get by on 16GB so I usually go for the cheapest option iPhone.

 

[OTACORB]

You know I drive myself worrying about space on my phone and I am just not willing to do it anymore. I always went with the 32 or the 64 whatever the lowest space Apple offers to save a few dollar. Well I purchased a Max which I returned for other reasons. I can tell you if and when I buy again I will go with 128 if available, but 256 if necessary. I want to be able to have my music and photos and all that. Apple doesn't make it easy to keep your space optimized in a way I'd want too. I wish after it was backed up the cloud we could delete it from the device, but you can't without jumping through hoops.

 

[DJ_Smith]

I’m on icloud storage. So I don’t actually need higher iPhone storage.

Absolutely no way to clean up your storage with the iPhone in terms of deleting videos and photos without having to turn off the iCloud delete everything and then download the thumbnails again. I have also lost videos and photos on iCloud so while I use it, I also have a secondary source for backing up because I don't trust it enough anymore.

 

[michial]

I’m totally cool with 64gb. I use iCloud for everything.

 

[Reno Raines]

64gb user here and it is more than enough for me.

iCloud sync works in such a way that you don’t really need to delete anything from your device unless you’re filling it up with apps. Optimise storage option does work wonders.

I don’t understand this. If you want to delete something, you just delete it. What’s with this deleting but keeping?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[jdsmitty10]

I went backwards with my storage. Had a 128gb 7 and only used about 60gb over 2 years. I wasn't paying the extra premium on the XS for more storage so now I have 64gb. With a little bit of storage house keeping I currently have 55gb used but I could easily clear some wasted space if I wanted to or got close.. I used to survive on 16gb before I got my 7 so 64 is plenty for me. Only got the 128 7 cause of the great trade in deal at the time that gave me practically no phone payment over 2 years(other than the $4 per month upgrade to the 128)..

 

[ohaishawnn]

Now that I use Apple Music and iCloud Photo Library (15k photos), the only things that fill up space on my phone are apps and messages and what not. 64 works fine for me.

Amazing the number of threads with "Am I the only one...." in the title. No, you aren't the only one. Don't know why so many think they are along, in a population of millions upon millions of iPhone owners.

I think OP used a a figure of speech, but nevertheless there are many "truths" being thrown around here on MacRumors that make it seem like you absolutely need 512GB on your phone.
