128gb is plenty unless you’re storing a lot of photos on device. If you’re storing > 100GB of photos on your phone and they’re not backed up somewhere else, you’re really setting yourself up for disaster

It's those moving pictures that really get you. And our phones now have very high grade cameras on them, so it's very easy to exceed. Cloud storage fills quickly, or butchers the resolution.

Cloud storage fills quickly

Apple provides up to six terabytes of cloud storage (for a monthly fee, obviously). And if you have a family account, individual members of the family can pay for even more storage (by default though, the entire family has a shared pool of storage).

But yeah — I'm pretty sure Apple ProRes RAW video can be hundreds of gigabytes per minute of footage. If you're choosing that then yeah, you're going to have to find another cloud provider. And it's going to be very expensive. Most people don't shoot video in ProRes RAW though.

At a glance, that looks like $30/mo. Or $160/year, which they're hoping you never cancel because it becomes a huge task to download and purge before you can cancel your plan.

Or we could do something silly, like have a modern amount of internal storage and a microsd slot, so we can store lots of pictures and videos, and transfer them off the device quickly and easily.

Storage is cheap. Don't let these pricing models fool you otherwise.
