Also my thought. I had set the money aside when it was announced, so I guess I was prepared.

Based on that - I use 43GB on my iPhone which has 128GB capacity so that means my 256GB AVP is way more than I need.I bought the 512 gb version. I have 512 on my iPhone, and only use 93 gb. So, I figured I was likely good with 512.
I'm curious - If you used only 93gb, why not get the 256GB? 256GB is already 175% more than 93GB. Was it because the 256GB wasn't available by Feb 2?I bought the 512 gb version. I have 512 on my iPhone, and only use 93 gb. So, I figured I was likely good with 512.

Good point(s). I also think Apple didn't release info about the larger HD capacities because then the media would keep referring to the VP as a $3899 product. Im certain the 256 GB will be suitable for the majority.I got 256 and I regularly max out Mac configurations. So it wasn’t that.
On this, I also think iCloud will manage media well, like it does iPhone.
But I also think Apple has way too much riding on this product launch to underestimate the HD space needed to have very high customer satisfaction scores.
If the product proved unpopular I do not think it will be because of the base model’s HD space. If it were, Apple would have blown it in the worst possible way.
As a result, I interpreted the 500 and 1tb options (and the fact they were kept secret until onsale) as pure money grab. I actually think it was the least honest thing I’ve seen Apple do with a new product that I can remember.
Will the AVP allow for downloaded content like I do with my Macbook or iPad ?Good point(s). I also think Apple didn't release info about the larger HD capacities because then the media would keep referring to the VP as a $3899 product. Im certain the 256 GB will be suitable for the majority.
Same. Went back and forth. I have 256 GB on MacBook, with 200 GB still available. For my personal use, I will never be downloading multiple 3d movies at any one time. All photos (including spatial are optimized in iCloud). If VP takes off and developers come out with killer apps that are massive, I'll happily upgrade to version 2 with more storage if needed. But for now, I just want to play/experiment with what's possible now. My biggest fear isn't having enough storage, it's that I will find it a novelty after a few weeks/months. All that aside, I can't wait for Feb 2nd!256GB. Not sure what storage needs with AVP I'll have yet and already pay for 2TB of iCloud storage.
I get this. But I am hopeful Apple fears this much more and has a very carefully crafted release plan for experiences and content to keep the device exciting.My biggest fear isn't having enough storage, it's that I will find it a novelty after a few weeks/months.

In all honesty, how often are you going to want/need to access your full photo library on VP while off line?I keep flip flopping between 512GB and 1TB. On one hand, if I want to have all my photos stored locally (like my other devices) I have a lot more wiggle room with 1TB, but if I ”optimize photos“ I could get away with 512GB. I have an order in for the 512GB for delivery on 2/2 and an in-store pickup for the 1TB on 2/3.
Love Supernatural! It's the one reason I use my kids Meta Quests! Im really hoping Apple Fitness+ comes out with something similar and interactive for VP.I get this.

Fwiw, the Quest 2 and 3 have been novelties for me outside Supernatural. I have roughly only used the devices for that and it’s been worth it.
I think Apple can do way better in making the device solve a lot of problems.
I strongly suspect they will. Supernatural is kind of cheesy in its production compared to the refinement of Fitness+.Love Supernatural! It's the one reason I use my kids Meta Quests! Im really hoping Apple Fitness+ comes out with something similar and interactive for VP.
