Hello Alyssavaldez,


This article explains different kinds of storage and also answers your question about where to buy more (and which kind you can buy):


What's the difference between device storage and iCloud storage? - "Learn the difference between your device and iCloud storage, ways to manage your space, and where to buy more if you run out." Click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT206504

Take-home:

1. Storage on a device is fixed and cannot be upgraded. The only way to buy more is to buy a different device.

2. iCloud storage is on Apple's main computers. It is not a hard drive in the sky but by using optimization settings on your device it can help free up device storage. Lesser used items and larger file versions can be stored in ICloud and you can get access while connected to the Internet.
