iPhone 11 Pro Is 64GB enough for your iPhone?

[jwolf6589]

I have an iPhone 11 Pro 256GB. I have over 120 games, keep original photos and videos, and use ~109GB. Even if I turn off Keep Original photos and videos, I will still use ~50GB. I hate Offload Apps, so I don't use it. I also hate managing my storage. So 64GB isn't enough for me.
Answer on the poll.

Its plenty for me! But it depends on what you are doing.

64 is the new 16

I mean clearly I don’t have “extreme” amount of anything. I stream all my music and use some apps that I need on a regular basis. Optimise storage option also helps save memory by offloading apps that you don’t use regularly. Plus I don’t really have the time in the day to play games on my phone. So far it’s working out well for me.

10K photos! Wow thats allot.

It’s not. 64gb is usable. 16 isn’t.

I've got 64GB on my iPhone X. I managed to thin my storage down to 48GB to fit everything onto my phone when I got it over a year ago. After 14 months, I'm now at 54GB. I don't exactly have a comfortable amount of headroom, but I'm surviving just fine. It's not my main device so I don't really need that much storage on it. If I run out of room, I can always delete some old music.

My MBP has 2TB though. I keep everything I really need on that.

When it comes down to it, 64gb can be enough especially if you have unlimited data. But 256gb will prevent storage anxiety. With 256gb, I rarely check my storage.

I agree but at the same time it’s not worth paying $150 more for it. I usually got the base models but did end up getting the 128gb iPhone 6 Plus. Yeah I used a lot of the storage but I just stored movies and music on it. It was nice but not a necessity worth paying $200 more ( I think ?). It’s nice and all but I rather use my unlimited data since sprint never slows me down

This is me! I don’t use storage with unused data for the sake of it. Especially when there’s no issues with data usage.

64 GB used to be enough, but my music collection eventually grew and apps started taking more space. I eventually had to upgrade since 64 GB wasn't cutting it anymore with my iPhone 8 with only 13 GB left and it has some touch issues. Upgraded to a 256 GB iPhone 11 Pro.

If there’s an app available I’d always use that first before going to the website. I only use websites when the app is either not working or doesn’t have the feature I’m looking for.

Same here. I get frustrated when businesses don't have an app because using the mobile website is almost always inferior to an app for me.

Indeed. Provided the apps are native apps not crazy web wrappers.

Another source of frustration! Bait and switch for sure.

It depends on how you use your phone, so there is no right or wrong overall answer. My phone has a capacity of 64GB, with 51.94GB available. I wanted a 32GB phone but it wasn't available at the time of purchase.

You have an iPhone XR and Apple never even offered an option for a 32GB iPhone XR.

Ah, so that is why the carrier employee said it wasn't available. Thank you!

 

[The-Real-Deal82]

Yes 64GB is plenty and I have iCloud storage on top.

 

[breezyf808]

10K photos! Wow thats allot.

I only have little less than 3k of photos
But photos app stating that I have used 18 gb of storage?

I think 256GB will keep be going when I upgrade this year too. I have 152GB left on my iPhone. I have over 112GB worth of films and TV shows but never download them on my iPhone. Will use them on my iPad but only time I need to download is on a plane which happens what once a year so really I can use watch them on data if I need to.

Same here. I download movies to my iPad Mini 5 to watch on a plane when I travel. But In don't keep them stored on there just download and delete as I watch them.

 

[Hieveryone]

I need more than 64 but dont
Wanna spend 1000000000 for a phone I’ll replace in a year so I just manage

 

[mjschabow]

What really needs to happen is a 128gb base model. I could deal with 128 and be comfortable.

That’s not his point ....

Yes I am barely over 32, and I could get under with some housekeeping easily. And this is pretty much the case most of the time. When you have more than plenty of storage, you think you can't last with less because you have no reason to try as long as you have plenty of room. Same thing with cellular data.

EDIT: And devs are as much to blame as users. Apps are lazily coded because devs don't have tight storage restrictions like we used to have. I remember when PCs had single digit MEGABYTES and now some can have TERABYTES.

 

[nordique]

Way more than enough

but I must say I use iCloud, might be tight otherwise

I could make do but prefer not to. I find I like my minimum to be 128GB. Due to the way Apple does storage now, I'm on a 256GB 11 Pro Max.

It replaced my still perfectly functioning but terrible battery life 7 Plus. Which at the time I only was able to find the highest storage in for the jet black variety. So 256GB.

Just bought a mint but used iPad Pro 12.9 first generation 128GB W/C (Had the third gen but returned it. Didn't like the screen, feel, or lack of headphone jack and lightening port). I literally just wanted a bigger screen to watch things on, that was it.

My husband took my first gen 9.7 with only 32GB, it has W/C. He's using it for minimal things.

I can't honestly feel comfortable with anything under 128GB now.

 

[bobsamm]

Useless to me.
