iPhone 13 Pro Max Reason why you got 512 GB or 1 TB

[scubatopy]

Got 512 Gb because Pro Res videos are 6 Gb/min heavy and with just 256 Gb storage you can take max 20-30 minutes movies (together with OS, photo library and apps already installed) which is not enough most of the times you want to take movies.
BTW don't expect the transfers to Mac/PC/iCloud will be that fast with the lightning cable, you may take half a day each time and you may lose the event you want to film while transferring the previous content.

512GB - have little need for it, but just felt like getting it! lol
I do like to take a lot of photo/video content of the kids etc though, and like to store on the handset rather then upload to iCloud.....

Where did you get $100 from? I had to pay $200 more from 256GB to 512GB and 1 TB is also $200 more from the 512GB. Maybe you meant from 128GB to 256GB.

As for me I got the 512GB because I wanted blue and that was the only one available. I wanted the 256GB originally.

I had a credit with Apple. I ordered direct from Apple - not trading in my 11 Pro Max just yet. It will become my backup and *maybe* I'll sell it on Swappa at some point.

I like to have all music and photos fully downloaded onto my phone, and I never delete text messages (including attachments). Been restoring from backup since 2012. I’m up to about 225 GB, so I went with the 512 option this year.

Music.

I have a couple hundred GB of DSD, FLAC, WAV files that I listen to with an audio DAC(digital to analog converter) and a set of Shure SE-846.

There are some high-res, lossless files that are over a GB for a single song.

There are other devices I could use besides an iPhone, but then that’s more cost and one more thing to carry.

These larger storage size options are great!

which iPhone app do you use to play your high res FLAC music files?

Wait, you don't back up at all? Aren't you worry about the phone getting lost or damaged?

I think FLAC files work with the free version, but DSD requires the HD 64 bit processing. It's not expensive, but I can't remember since I've had the paid version for so long.
