I just ordered a Silver 256 iPhone 13 Pro from Best Buy yesterday. They had a special promotion and gave me an extra $200 on trade for my SE2020, cost me $750 and my phone out the door. I pick up my new device on Thursday.

Ditto. Once I took nearly all the music off my phone (don't need it with Apple Music), I have lots of room to spare.

Yeah, I stream most of my Music. I have unlimited data with Verizon, so that's not an issue. I do have 8 songs downloaded local I use for alarms and some video apps. As is, the Music app takes 1.61gb of storage space, most of which is documents and data.

I went with 256gb and I have about 90gb left. I've been using 256gb since my iPhone 7. This seems to be the best for me and the way I use my device(s).

I have 256GB and used 88.4GB. I’m upgrading to the 14 Pro Max this year and will be going with 512GB, due to the camera improvements, and I like having everything on my phone and in the cloud. I now upgrade every 2 years so I don’t want to run out of space.

I originally ordered a Silver 256 iPhone 13 Pro at Best Buy because they have a promotion where they will add some money to the iPhone your trading in on a 13 Pro.

But, they screwed up my order and I ended up with a Blue 128 model and still got the extra money for my SE2020 I traded in.

I also ordered an clear outerbox case and good screen protector and so far I am happy with the deal. I really wanted a Silver model, but with all the issues getting product right now, I took what they had in stock.

The 64gb works fine for me. I don’t use many apps and I delete what I don’t need. I have 40gb available

I always get the smallest storage because all my files are in the cloud no reason to spend extra money for higher storage.

iPhone 13 mini, 512gb.

I have 200+gb already used. Between all the photos I have (and still take pics on the daily) on my phone, as well as music, I need the room.
