16gb enough?

[nathan_gura]

I still got 5.2 GBs free on mine, 16 GB is fine.

 

[Steve Adams]

Well, I bought 2 64gb 6s....will be here Thursday!

GRATS!!!

 

[Damien_Eternal]

Very nice. I'm glad I decided on the 64gb version as well.

I would STRONGLY SUGGEST getting a 64 GB iPhone. There are not very many instances where 16 GB will be sufficient. I am not a power user, by any means. But my 64 GB of storage is half full. Do whatever you need to do to upgrade to a higher storage capacity.

Do whatever you need to do to upgrade to a higher storage capacity.

Well, extra storage is nice, but there are limits to what you should do to get it. Don't do *whatever* you need to, in all circumstances, without thinking carefully about the lives you might damage and being sure you can live with yourself afterwards.

16 is almost useless now, if you install even a few apps....no space left...go for 64 GB. I actually own the 64 GB model for transparency..

 

[drinkoldcoke]

Do not get a 16gb. It is pathetic they even sell them. There is no way to set the video resolution so memory is used up quickly then they try to sell you iCloud.

What does "the video resolution" have to do with how much space an app or music takes, or even a video ?

A video recorded in 4K resolution is going to take more space than one shot at a lower resolution. I think that's what he was trying to say.

Settings/Photos and Camera/Record Video. You can change your video resolution there.

Go 64 nothing worse than not having enough

 

[Howard Sylve]

I'm late, but in my personal opinion and experience always get more storage than you think you'll need if you can afford it. Apps are getting bigger and updates do too.

Congrats! Let us know what you think.

 

[Honey Beagle]

Well 16 is useable but it's very time consuming to manage so little storage.

Plus one would have to delete things from the phone that is wanted to keep.

 

[Steve Adams]

Congrats! Let us know what you think.

Will do. I was playing with the store demo for a bit yesterday. very interesting. I cannot lie, I will miss a lot of features in windows10mobile. BUUUUTTTTTTT, having the option of any app, accessory, wearable, case, etc.....More than makes up for it. Now I don't have to fire up my dreaded galaxy note to do work...ha ha. I will give a full report as soon as they get here.

16gb can work. You have to do everyrhing in the cloud and not save to your phone. No music, no photos saved. Google photos works great. It also means someone has to occasionally clear unneeded things off.
If you use iCloud Photo Library data optimizing , save music to your phone, save even one video, you won't enjoy a 16 gb phone. Maybe if Apple releases the rumored 32 gb phone that they should never have dropped.

 

[Steve Adams]

Thanks Dan, I got 64's. ha ha.

all that cloud usage = more data usage, which may be an issue on the OP's employee plan as well.

 

[Steve Adams]

Nope. We get generous data, depending on the plan...and we can upgrade ours anytime we choose.
