iPhone 15 Pro storage selection

In the market for a new phone and don't want to spend money on the extra storage. Quick question...if we are allowed to transfer images and videos to USB, is anyone really going to be forking out hundreds to get 512 gb or 1 tb? I can't justify this since I use a USB to transfer from my Android and its quick. Will the process be similar with Apple?


Second part...how much can we record full quality on 256 gb? Assuming half the capacity (maybe 100 gb) due to iOS and software.

Hello,

You can't have too much storage!

If you have a lot of photos and videos your storage gets used up pretty quickly. Note: iCloud backup is for syncing and backup. You still need storage to hold the data initially.

Of course you can always off-load the data to an external device and then delete the data from the phone, but that isn't always practical.

Looks at these links for more detail:

Good luck.
