Keep this very important point in mind. Once purchased, there is NO WAY to add memory to an iPhone, so buy with the most memory you can afford. iOS, Apps, Updates, all take a lot of storage. If you'll download a lot of apps, make videos and store loads of photos, then add in music, and of course now with Apple Intelligence, memory is very important. We can't know how you'll use your phone, but if you can afford it, get one with the most memory your budget permits.
