What Size Iphone Do I Really Need?

Which size of iPhone you need will depend on how you're using your phone. If you plan to store lots of photos, videos, or music, you'll need an iPhone with a larger storage capacity. This is also true for anyone who wants to play lots of games on their phone. For most people, a storage capacity of 128GB will be adequate. However, if you plan to use cloud storage, an iPhone with 64GB of storage may be right for you.

What size iPhone do I really need?

iPhones come with slightly different screen sizes and storage space. If you're looking for a phone to meet your needs, you'll likely be wondering which size of iPhone to get.

iPhones generally come in a choice of three different sizes: 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. For most people, the 128GB is the best size to go with. Choosing an iPhone can be confusing; follow these simple steps to help you determine which size of iPhone is best for you. To make your decision, you'll need to look at how you plan to use your phone and what you need to download and store.

Choosing an iPhone

iPhones vary in how much storage space they have, and it depends on how you plan to use your phone, which size you'll choose. For most people, the 128GB version should have plenty of space. However, if you want to be able to download large files or download and store music, you may need an iPhone with a larger storage capacity.

You'll need a phone with a larger storage capacity if you don't want to rely on cloud storage services. If you're going to store lots of photos and video, you'll need a phone with more storage. Those who play lots of games, or store music, photos, and videos may like to choose the 256GB iPhone.

If, on the other hand, you plan to use iOS flash drive support, you may require less storage space and can choose the 64GB iPhone.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Apple Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Apple in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What Size Iphone Do I Really Need? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible.
