I know it’s been a running joke for years now, but jesus christ the iPhones still start at 128GB and the regular 16 is still 60Hz and USB 2.0.

    What are you guys storing in your phones? Mine hasn’t gotten anywhere close to full in years.

    I’m starting to feel like I’m missing out on something important!

        Want to keep the flash on with the camera app open? Welp, guess you better start recording a video.

        I had to stop that after I recorded myself on the other side doing the same thing. Whenever I watch the video it gives me a blissful headache.

      It’s lame, but if you have kids, you’ll blow your storage every few months. MUST CAPTURE EVERY MOMENT OF THEIR LIVES THAT I’LL PROBABLY NEVER WATCH AGAIN

        Hah, I had kids in the low-res era. By the time 4K rolled along they were already teenagers in the “put the camera away, dad” stage ;)

      Wikipedia in English and Russian, music and videos in case I’m offline, a bunch of games and emulators, photos and videos taken in the last 30 days (the rest are on Immich), A Linux environment (iSH) and a bunch of junk

      I have ~80 GB free out of 512

      FLACs, Tidal’s downloads and cache, photos from work that I can use as evidence, and a fuckton of memes. My previous phone had 64GB internal and I just about filled it before it died.

      To me it’s something I just don’t want to have to think about. I already pay a lot for the device either way, so I want it to just work and not juggle around apps/media/etc.

      My current iPhone is a 512 GB model and current usage is around 210 GB with photos already in iCloud. Record a couple of 4K videos and a 256 GB model would be full in no time (before uploading to the cloud, which can take a while when you’re on the go with flaky network conditions).

      My next phone will have at least 512 GB again, and I’m thinking about 1 TB as well, although the upgrade pricing is quite steep.

      Offline storage of Spotify music plus some local music files, bloated messaging apps, and then the majority would be photos and videos. Having cloud storage like Google One and a NAS helps, but having local files is also good when signal isn’t great.

      Would you like to see the 900 photos of my cats? Or would you like to see yesterday’s photos of my cats?
