For me it's being able to have the movies and shows I'm addicted to.
Doc Martin, The Walking Dead, Downton Abbey, The Handmaid's Tale, and some Dr Who. Right now I can't use them all.
I want them on trips.
And music. Have to have music. And films. Have to have films.
For situations like this I can see. When you start talking about movies and tv shows, it definitely makes sense. I don't enjoy watching shows or movies on my iPhone. That's why I bought my iPad for. So I use that while I travel. I guess that can make a difference. If you'd rather not carry multiple devices, it is best if you can have as much storage as possible on the one device you do carry around with you.
Do I NEED it...no, I really don't need 64/128/256gb either, I just want to be worry free and not worry about managing space on my iPhone (been there done that). If I do decide to get the next latest greatest iPhone (whatever it's called), I will probably go with the highest possible storage ....again, because I can.
I've heard the rumors and talks about Apple introducing the 512 GB iPhone 8 model. I've started to think more and more about this possibility and how it relates to my uses.
I've determined that I don't need that much. I've got the 256 GB model currently and I've got around 140 GB left over. If I continue annual upgrades, there is no point in me spending the extra for a 512 GB iPhone that I'll never fill. 256 GB works for me because it gives me a nice cushion.
What works best for you?
Yah I like to travel light. I'd rather have one phone and one cable than a phone and an iPad.
And don't forget books!!! I gave up my Nook precisely because I want to carry as little as possible.
Yeah the screen is small for films or shows but I can deal with it.
Traveling for work, I could see the use for it. I have used about 81 GB on my 128, and could easily finish it off. I would definitely consider 512. Would be easier for all of my digital media.//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170907/2de51d104efab9bc4953d35f2e8989c7.png
Can’t wait till they announce the price
Makes sense. Consolidating electronics is smart. I haven't quite mastered that yet, lol. I still carry my iPhone, iPad and MacBook on all travels. Never know when I will prefer one over the other during my travels.
WOW!!! That's A LOT of tech on travel.
I do carry two cameras on vacations. So that's a habit I wish I could break. My Nikon D80, even if it's ancient I've got a lot of glass invested, and a little Nikon point and shoot. But I end up using my iPhone most of the time.

Do I “need” 512 GB storage on an iPhone? Heck No! I don’t even “need” half that much.

I think I've decided that as long as it is below the $1200 price point, it's almost a guarantee that I'll go for it. Anything above that and I may have to seriously consider if its worth it.
