After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Welcome to iMore. If she's a responsible young lady, I would suggest the middle tier of memory (gigabytes). 512gb is a lot and 64gb has one always checking how much memory is left. Nowadays 256gb seems just about right for most. Just my opinion of course.
I saw the lowest possible. Let her experience something similar to what it was like to manage a meager 16GB.
I just noticed that the OP posted in the iPhone 6s forum so the choices are 16-64 and 128GBs
