What size iPhone 5 to order 32GB or 62GB?

I want to finally purchase my first iPhone. I have a MBP which I use to manage my music and photos. I don't have an iPod touch or iPad so I am thinking I will be a heavier user on the iPhone. I currently have about 8GB of music and around 20GB of photos. I know I need at least the 32GB just based on that. Of course I don't even have any apps yet so am unsure how much room I will need. I don't want to spend more then required but I don't want to be disappointed if I don't have enough memory.

Maybe iCloud will help me too.

Looking for thoughts from current iPhone owners on what they would purchase based on my info.

If you can afford the 64GB go for it, if not the 32 is a good sized iPhone. I have the iPhone 4 32GB and it was great. It's your call.

I would go for a 64GB version. Most likely you'll have a 2 years contract so the resell value is much better.

Also note that you cannot upgrade the storage space and having more space will also make running apps with less crashes. I have a iPhone 4S with 64GB and it's good to have all the important apps, photos and music with me all the time.

This makes sense. Its seems like more money now but I am sure in 2 years after full use I will be happier. Like you I want all my photos and music with me at all times. Especially since I don't use an iPod touch or IPad or that I can't upgrade storage.

Thanks I will take the plunge.
