So the day has finally come that I have decided to upgrade my phone from a 4S to something new. Right now my two contenders are an iPhone 7 with 128 gigs of memory and an iPhone 8 with 64 gigs of memory. Without considering price, would the iPhone 8's new features be worth sacrificing 64 gigs, or should I go for the 7?

I’ve no idea how you’ve lasted so long on a 4S, but I’m impressed!

I’d totally sacrifice 64GB and go for the 8.

I’d say 64GB is the perfect amount for most people - I had a 64GB iPhone 6 and 6S and was then “forced” up to 128GB when the 7 only offered 32GB or 128...

Cloud storage is cheap and the iPhone is good at only storing what is needed on it.

I think this review of the 8 is pretty appropriate for you.

I would ultimately ask yourself, do you need additional storage or not? If you don't, then I would opt for the iPhone 8 with 64 GB of memory.
