If I get an iPhone, how much storage should I get for the iPhone 16 Pro? Assuming I record some pretty high def and kind of long videos and play a lot of pretty high storage games.

...you just answered your own question. Sounds like you need storage. Do you want us to tell you that 256GB is enough?

Personally, I found my sweet spot two years ago with the 14 Pro Max. I bought the 512GB and right now it's filled about 2/3. For now I don't feel the need for more. I take a lot of photos but don't use really heavy games.

Depends on how you use it and where you store stuff. I have a 128GB 13 ProMax currently and store most of my stuff in iCloud. I'm using 82.23 GB on the phone currently, so I'll be perfectly fine with the 256GB base storage on the 16 ProMax I'm upgrading to.
