1200 euros for the 15 PRO MAX 256GB?
or
1600 euros for the one with 1TB?

first world problems …
I was considering the 1 TB but later felt there's more value in opting for 256GB 15PM and getting the latest and fastest 2TB/4TB SSD since we can now record videos directly onto SSD...thanks to USB-C

WhatsApp doesn't support cloud storage? I have 100s of GB of old photos, emails, and messages but they're all stored on iCloud. No need to use expensive local storage for stuff I hardly look at. But I don't use WhatsApp.

"expensive local storage"? You forgot to do your math homework. 200GB iCloud costs £3.99 / month, £ 35.88 / year and £ 179.40 in 5 years. Upgrade from 128GB to 256GB costs only £ 100. What is more costly?

Also don't forget you will sell your iPhone with a higher price as you have a residual value in your storage. Good luck selling your iCloud storage fees!

1 TB is also more advantage although not like for like. Costs £ 500 extra on the iPhone and £ 539.40 in iCloud costs for 2 TB storage after 5 years but 1 TB will at least add £ 150-200 to the resale value.

I’m getting 256gb storage because at the end of the day if I buy more storage and loose my phone then I won’t have my photos on cloud 😅, can’t trust SSD either in case it gets broken as well. Luckily I have 2tb iCloud storage through Apple One

Why wouldn’t your photos be on the cloud if you lose your phone? They are automatically synced.

Oh so can I have full quality pics and have on iCloud too? Because I have optimised storage and it’s using 15gb phone storage for 40k photos and videos. That’s what I was saying that 256gb would be enough 😂

You will most likely not get $ back for the extra storage you paid for you phone. Also Apple Trade in doesn't consider the storage so all 15 pro models get same trade in value. Your math homework didn't factor in iCloud convenience for photos and sharing.

Why people talking about storage on this thread... this thread for 15 epp...
🤣😂It is common and so easy to get distracted on any conversations on a topic with any other hot topic such as storage option, Let us hope that the original conversation topic can be returned. 😊
