I plan on buying an iPhone SE this week and I'm wondering if the 32gb version has enough storage? Normally I don't keep too many apps, songs and videos on my phone but judging from my iPad the apps are much larger on IOS than they are on my Windows Phone. I have never ran out of space on my Lumia 920 so that's why I'm wondering about the 32gb SE, I don't want to spend the extra money to get the 128gb version if I don't have to.
 
Only you can answer if 32GB is enough storage for you. I have about 70 apps installed on my iPhone, zero music and movies and about 600 images (no videos) stored locally on my phone and 32GB is more than enough for me.

It's always better to have more storage than run out. But you can always make use of cloud services to store photo/videos/files such as Google Photos, Dropbox, etc.
 
It's entirely subjective on how much storage you need.
I have the 64 and about 20gb free.
I have a 20gb photo library, 8:ish gb of podcasts, audio books and a few Spotify playlists. The rest is the OS, messaging apps, utility apps and a crosswords game.
Even without my photo library I'd consider 32gb insufficient long term, if I were you I'd get the 128gb version if you cannot find a 64gb.
 
Along with everything else it also depends on the type of apps you use.
 
I think i cant create a thread but i have a urgent question.

Why am I recording 4k and 1080p but when my video gets to my mac is always 720p?
This is really making me upset... and it's messing with my work editing, a lot!

Thanks for the help
