People really think 64GB is too small for a base config? I was 100% behind "16GB is too small" for years when Apple kept that shit as the default, but 64GB is enough for like, 95% of people.
For a typical mid-high end phone with expandable storage?
Sure.
For 1000 of any major western currency for the base model, with no expandable storage?
I can see the issue.
Ive been on 64gb for a few years and Ive never been in jeopardy of running out. I use iTunes Match though.People really think 64GB is too small for a base config? I was 100% behind "16GB is too small" for years when Apple kept that shit as the default, but 64GB is enough for like, 95% of people.
If you have a brand new baby and are constantly taking photos and 4k video, that shit fills up.
If I didn't that 64gb is more than enough. I'm super lazy to do imports and rather do them only once when i get a new phone

Apps/Games have gotten bigger, Camera have improved drastically from those 16GB days. Pics, videos take up lot of space. Come on now, lets not kid yourself. 1k for 64gb is a shame.
Well, yeah that's right. And for some people the upgrade in price is nothing so if it makes them happy, go wild on 256GB.I feel like 64gb is enough, but you'd have to keep a bit of an eye on it and prune it every once in a while whereas 256 is a use-and-never-worry or even think about it type thing. Is that worth the price diff, who knows.

I guess the % difference in price is not that big for anyone though (if you're already paying out of the nose for an iPhone X), but on the other hand I'd look at the 150+ available GB and feel bad about the waste of memory, whereas with 64GB I'd think "aw yeah I'm utilizing this shit to the max" and that would also influence my day-to-day satisfaction with the device lol. To each his own.
Plus better return on the $ when reselling.
64GB is perfectly fine for 99% of people buying that phone. Especially as cloud storage is dirt cheap and theyve just dropped photo and video sizes in half.
Two years ago we had people complaining about 16GB. It went up to 32GB the next year and still complaints. Anything short of the maximum storage for the cheapest price thats also expandable and somebody will inevitably complain.
Not that Im hard up for space, but is Apple offering a way to convert existing photos to the new, smaller format?
Makes sense. Not that it matters much with iCloud Photo Library as an option.Not officially, because youd be converting a lossy format to another lossy format, resulting in a degradation of quality.

I think you go white if you want to go caseless and want to polish your phone's band.
That and Google photosHasnt iCloud photo storage more or less solved that?
Ive never waivered from black. Gonna match so beautifully with my space black watch
Apps and games havent gotten that much larger - for one, App Store downloads can only be 4GB large tops, and most mobile games are nowhere near that. The largest game I have on my phone is 700mb. HEVC and HEIF also substantially lower the file size impact of 4K video and high resolution still shots.Apps/Games have gotten bigger, Camera have improved drastically from those 16GB days.

❤️ What's the wear and tear on a space black apple watch look like?
Video size are "half" due to compression for the same resolution, but actually baloon to way above the size of older videos if you record at 4K or 60FPS. I'm way past 64GB on my phone just on the account of 60FPS videos I've recorded, photos and music that I keep on it, and bunch of games (about 50 or so, and not even 10 of those are very large). I guess I could delete a bunch of games to go somewhat under 64, but that's gonna get filled up again in no time with new videos anyway - and to make it clear I am not even some avid videographer, I just capture a video here and there, once or twice a week maybe. 64GB storage space for One Thousand dollar phone is a sham, considering that much storage memory costs next to nothing, and it's clearly targeted to make as many people go for an even more stupidly expensive 256GB model. Seriously, how can you look at that price, and think that's OK? The fact that super expensive phones are attempting to became normalized over the last year or two doesn't preclude the fact - that is about 2x more expensive than Apple's flagships from just a few years ago, and they are still being stingy with one of the cheaper components in it.64GB is perfectly fine for 99% of people buying that phone.

64gb is shit because I like to have a substantial chunk of my music library available offline on the phone and that exceedes 64gb.
128gb is fine; I have that now on my 7 and I have about 20gb free.
If I didn't have to worry at all about mobile data I'd just get 64gb but I have a 25gb a month cap and I dont want to have to worry about it.
I think that's just an angle, and it's not really that kind of chrome silver like it was in an iPhone 3GS.I don't like the silver Apple logo and stuff on the back of the black one. White all the way.
One face per phone.Do we know if Face ID has support for multiple people like you can do with Touch ID?
One face per phone.
It really is a love-hate relationship. Looks so goddamn sexy as a hardware package but whenever I see the notch/weirdly alinged status bar in any app the magic is just gone. Hope they figure everything out software-wise in time for the XII(I) Plus.Black needs more love. Finally got around to compiling whatever images I could find of the black one. Really thought I might finally get a silver/white phone this year, but after looking at this, I don't think I can ignore the simplicity and elegance of a full black slab. It's going in a case anyway.
