Genuinely curious on the use cases for 512GB, what do y'all save on your phone? lol.

I got the 256gb X, and I'm have 95% free right now, oops.
Lossless audio for use with custom IEMs and a decent amp/DAC. If you have a decent music collection, it adds up quick.
 
Did it - 512gb space grey ordered with the theft protection Apple Care (ouch)

7 days 12 hours to see my FedEx driver bringing a box to my office ;-)

I shoot LOTS of 4Kvideo and photos. That will fill it up pretty well. I’m always bumping up against memory limits. I also import external video sources for editing. Takes up a lot of space. Some can be freed up once I have the edit completed.

2 Space Grey's.. Sim Free on 21 Sep!

I didn't realize there was a 512GB until this order (didn't see the conference :rolleyes:). I believe the 256 will be the highest seller.
 
XS Max 512 GB AT&T. I think the 256GB will be the highest seller, I don’t think a lot of people need the 512GBs.

I thought 512gb would be excessive too...until I checked the storage on my 256gb and saw I only have 16gb left! Yeah, there's a lot of cleaning up I could do, but I'd rather just get more storage and not worry about it. I used to get the middle storage models, and then inevitably run out of space. Now I only get the highest storage model and never have to think about it. When you subtract what I'd be paying for cloud storage, it's not a whole lot more. And I get to have all my "stuff" with me and readily available versus downloading from the cloud.

I have 236 free on a 256gb 8 plus, but hubby still thinks I need a 512.

You're using less than 20gb??? What kind of sorcery is this?! I'm using twice that on apps alone. Do you even iPhone?
[doublepost=1537053025][/doublepost]I ordered a 512 Max in all three colors for launch day delivery to see which one I like best. I'm gonna spend a few days using each. Thank God for credit and no restocking fees lol. SG is currently my favorite, but I'm leaning toward silver or gold because I've only gotten the "blackest" iPhones since the 3GS. My furniture and car interior are dark and my vision isn't the best, so I often have to find them using my Watch.
 
pre-ordered a space grey 512gb XS Max on ATT.com, estimated Sept 21 delivery date, we'll see if I get it Friday.
