Is 64Gb Enough?

Cool....unless you know for certain that it's excessive it's always better to have extra.

Wait 128 is excessive?

Wait 128 is excessive?

No, not at all, at least not for me.
I'm making a general statement that could apply to any size. It's always good to have extra unless you know for certain that it well exceeds your needs. I'm in the 256 camp with my Note 10. The S10 I use for work is 512 but that was the minimum size for ceramic.

64g? Absolutely not. My phone is the convergence of all of my listening activities, which means it holds my podcast library and my music collection. I have no intentions upon being dependent upon streaming and data usage when carriers incessantly raise rates and change the rules. I want my media local. That means lots of internal storage and generally at least a 256g if not larger sdcard, preferrably 400g. I suspect I am unusual in that regard. As a phone tester I was always clamoring for more storage and the manufacturers were insisting "users don't care." I do care. Lack of removable storage and tiny space like 64g is a non-starter for me.

Yes 64Gb is enough for most of us.

How much storage you need depends on how you use your phone. I have a Pixel 4XL with 64gig and don't even use half the space. My phone backs up to the cloud automatically, so I periodically delete my photos with a tap in Google Photos. My apps automatically back up.

I don't know what Apple would have that's better than Google's cloud storage solution, but I never bought into any of their iPhone stuff.

I use apple and google storage and it is still cheaper than to pay for the most expensive storage option phone every year or so that I change it

You can use Google apps/services on iPhone.

You can use Google apps/services on iPhone.

That's what I would do if I ever decided to make the switch. But honestly, I don't know what Apple would have to do to make me switch.

64GB is great for me. Never had an issue with storage whatsoever.

 

[Dariusz_Wojcik]

I think is more about what people want vs what people need case

I'd have to disagree as some do generally use more.

 

[Dariusz_Wojcik]

Yes, I definitely I agree with you, some do. But most of us mortals are not heavy users and just get more storage because they think they need it but will never use it

My iPhone 11 is 64Gb model and it shows 30Gb used. My Note 10+ shows over 120Gb used and I have all the same APPS and Google photos etc.

My guess is caching... Usually that's configured to store temp files based on available space.
