I always buy the maximum storage device but if I was preordering I would stick with the 256 GB model. My needs are far below a half a Terabyte.

[derekgraham78]

I could get by on 64. I rent iCloud storage

[nikkisharif]

If I was going to upgrade, I would probably get the 512. YOLO

If I were upgrading, I’d stick with the 256 GB model. I’m not even close to filling the disk space of my current 256 GB iPhone X.

[TripleOne]

I’m comfortable with the 256, but I like having the highest storage capacity

[Tartarus]

256GB is more than enough for me. I don’t see myself getting a 512 anytime soon.

[Ledsteplin]

512 is an awful lot. I don't see paying $100 more for what won't be used. I don't think I even need 256.

You mean $200 more? It’s $200 extra from 256 to 512.

[grover5]

I don’t even come close to using the 128 on my iPhone red 7 +. I might stick with what I’ve got.

[gabbott]

I almost considered the 512GB but am going to preorder the 256GB. My reason for considering it was to future proof a little but then realized I've never kept a smartphone model for more than 12 months so it would be pointless for me.

No, I didn't know that. Missed that part.

Me too, plus I usually wait for the smoke to clear and wait for a Bogo deal or something.

[qbnkelt]

I got the gold 512GB Max.

Keep more seasons of my favorite shows and more films for when I travel.

And the bigger screen will be fantastic.

[BreakingKayfabe]

At this point I’m good with 64GB storage.

[AJ19920]

If I were going to upgrade this year (I’m sticking with the X) I would definitely upgrade to the 512gb model. I have the 256gb with only 8GB of storage left.

[Sekelani Zwambila]

Yep. I’m getting it. In gold although it will be cases up 95% of the Time

[Ledsteplin]

Yep. I’m getting it. In gold although it will be cases up 95% of the Time

Why will you need that much storage space? Just curious.

[phlamethrowre]

No. I use Google Photos, Google Drive, Google Keep, Microsoft OneDrive & OneNote. There is no need for a 1/2 terabyte phone.

[johnmed3]

I really wanted the the 256 but could never find it. Had to go with the silver 64gb

[spankmymoto]

I upgraded to the 512GB iPhone Max and haven’t regretted it at all. I like to record a lot of 4K videos @60 fps and it can gobble up the storage quite fast.

I don’t utilize iCloud that much because there is no end to end encryption on that part and I like to keep everything local on my iPhone just in case I run into a situation where I have no internet or LTE to access the iCloud.

Plus, I like the fact my content is secure with encryption when stored on my local device with passcode protection.

[Spencerdl]

This is the first time I didn't get the maximum storage on my new iPhone. I went with the 256gb Xs Max and it's more than enough for my needs and wants.

[Damien_Eternal]

Every iPhone I have had, Ive always gone with the middle storage tier. I got the 256GB Xs. 64 wasnt enough, 512 would have been way overkill.

Actually, there is end-to-end encryption on iCloud. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303

Unless its changed recently, I believe it has always been this way. Knowing Apple and how they are about security, I dont see them setting it up any other way.

The reason I had doubted the end to end encryption with the iCloud is because the recent investigation by Bob Mueller and they were saying that is how they caught a lot of criminal activity. No encryption on their iCloud accounts.

I would like to be able to confirm this 100 percent but that is what o based it on.

Can you post a link to this info? If this is true, I would like to know about it.
