Basically. This is My 64 gig right now... until Itunes Match comes out...

57.42GB Capacity.

12.8GB Music
7.3GB Photos
8 GB apps
1.72 Other
28.1gb Free

I have spotify & Google Music, but I'm looking forward to Itunes Match. I have a LOT of music, but the music I listen to the most made the device. Just in case i'm on a ski-lift or something with no service or connect to wifi.

and for the extra $100 I paid... I got twice the size phone of the 32. Resale value. Learned that from my ipod days.
:eek: WOW that's a lot of music on your phone! And how many apps is that! I barely have 500MB in apps.

I put a lot of music, pictures and apps on my iPhone... I had the 32gb iP4 and I was constantly managing the content to keep around 2gb free at all times. Now with the 64gb iP4S I have just about everything I want on it right now and about 28gb still free to keep adding content. Love it!! I'm hoping for a 128gb iP5 next year!!

For me... It's the amount of music I have... I have over 1TB of music (from purchases via Amazon, iTunes, etc. and from rips from my CD's)... I like that I can use that space for as much music as I'd like...

Plus, as noted by others, the resale is not bad either...

I thought that the resale of my 32GB iPhone 4 would be better then the 16GB, but it doesn't seem to be all that much better. I almost never used more then 16GB, so I went with the 16 this time. I can't sync all my movies, but I still have enough.

I have it because I needed the space. My 32 was full and now only have 11GB's available on my 64.

I went 64GB so I could finally fit all my music on the only iPod I use anymore, my iPhone. I have ~43GB of music, then the rest will be there for pictures and videos. I might even have to take off some of my music to leave more room for pic and video, that 1080p is a storage space eater!

Same here, i didn't get much more for a 32gb iphone 4 vs the 16gb. And the 64gb ipads took a beating in resale vs the 16. I'm not sure i'd be buying this strictly for resale value. 16gb is still the best value buy.

I got 64 because i use a lot of apps. From experience, you usually fill the space you have. I usually keep around 4gb free even using the cloud more.

I got the 64GB because

a) my 32GB iPhone 4 had about 2GB free, and that is because I was continually deleting stuff.
b) I will be able to sell it for more when I get the iPhone 5
c) I will be able to store more apps (apps account for about 10GB of my space right now - many are ones I am in the process of reviewing).

Main reason... Resale Value.

Second reason, I take a ton of videos and pics and figured when I go on vacation, I definitely won't run out of space.

Third reason... just becasue....

i hate to bust your bubble, but you will lose out on resale value.

I had the 32gb iphone 4. I sold it on ebay. Check the average prices. The 32gb was only going for about $25 more then the 16GB. There just is not as much demand for the larger capacity phones. I hope that wasnt the only reason you went larger.

I have the 64gb now. I have about 30gb of music and I hate being 2 hours from home and thinking of a song, just to realize that it was not on my phone. now I am sitting with 7gb of free space and my entire library with me.

Tons of apps coming over from my iPad 2 and lots of music. I like knowing that I have plenty of space for as much stuff as desired.

I agree, the number one reason I got the 64GB version was because of the added space. I had only 4GB available free space on my old 32GB. Now I have plenty of room for the HD videos & better apps.
