For me it definitely is. I use Spotify for music and iCloud Photos for my pictures. I have a lot of photos and a lot of music but I never come close to filling 64gb because of the cloud.

If you do take pictures, the image files are getting bigger -- not only the increased resolution of the camera but Apple has all these "enhanced" images (e.g. the "live" images and the new portrait mode) that are really multiple images and so take a lot of space. You can turn them off , though.

I went for the max max :) ) ) because I travel internationally a lot and take lots of pictures and hope to start taking more videos. Plus its nice to have music and videos for the long plane trips and stuck in some hotel or on a train. My 256GB iPhone 7 still has 40GB+ free but I plan on keeping this phone a while (famous last words...) so I view the extra storage as future proofing. If I was upgrading every year so, then it is less of an issue as I could just get more if I needed it, when the next upgrade came around. There was also some found money burning a hole in my pocket and I would have wasted it on something else :)
 
Has anyone had any luck finding protection for their phones yet? I'll be getting the Xs Max. Using amazon prime hoping to get a case / screen protector before Friday.

Been seeing a lot of claim codes for Caseology on Facebook. So far I have two cases and four tempered glass screen protectors for under $10

I bought this Otterbox case from Apple. Love the green and black combo around the outside and the obligatory clear back to show off the phone!

lowkey jealous of you all. still not charged and no order update today

Getting charged Sunday night is really early for T-Mobile's standards. Expect a ton more people to get charged throughout tomorrow and Tuesday, I'm willing to bet you're one of those people and you'll get it on release date (if your estimated shipping/delivery on your account is Friday).
