iPhone 12 Pro: 256 or 512 GB? - space-time - 02-04-2021 I have an SE with 128 GB, about 1/2 full. But, I don't take a lot of pictures or videos I think a 12 Pro (not Max), with 3 cameras, would motivate me to take more pictures, and more video (4K). So not sure if I want to go for 512 or just stay with 256 that I have on order but didn't get a chance to pick up yet. Re: iPhone 12 Pro: 256 or 512 GB? - sekker - 02-04-2021 Unless you are making a movie, you can always download/upload your cool movies to computer/cloud and shoot more. 256 will likely be more than enough! Re: iPhone 12 Pro: 256 or 512 GB? - Rolando - 02-04-2021 Agree, 256 is probably enough for most. Re: iPhone 12 Pro: 256 or 512 GB? - jdc - 02-04-2021 Yeah... the cloud or local storage. I get the appeal... but cant imagine needing to carry around 200 GB of "stuff" to have at my finer tips... Re: iPhone 12 Pro: 256 or 512 GB? - davester - 02-04-2021 This is silly. Your media should be constantly downloaded to an archive (e.g. you computer or a cloud service and then you should have a separate backup of the archive. Only copies of images you ant immediate access to should be on the phone. 256gb is more than enough. Re: iPhone 12 Pro: 256 or 512 GB? - SteveO - 02-04-2021 256 FTW. I just upgraded from an SE 128 with iCloud, never ran out of room. Now on a 12 Mini 128, still plenty of room. Thanks, iCloud! Though I've only had bigger iCloud a few months, it's been great peace of mind. Prepare yourself for a giant phone, though, going from SE to a regular sized 12. My wife went from iPhone 7 to 11 recently and it took her awhile to get used to lugging that thing around, LOL. Even my 12 Mini has been a bit of an adjustment for me from my OG SE, though I certainly agree it's an improvement. No bezel/full screens rock. Re: iPhone 12 Pro: 256 or 512 GB? - Robert M - 02-04-2021 Savester, You're _assuming_ everyone remembers to off-load their media, you're assuming everyone knows exactly what media they want to access at a given time and you're assuming 256GB is enough for them. You're making lots of assumptions which do not necessarily reflect how people use their phones.

Re: iPhone 12 Pro: 256 or 512 GB? - Robert M - 02-04-2021 RZ, That and, for many people, a smartphone literally replaces a computer and is their primary "computing" device. A computer is a secondary tool to them. That's if they even have a computer. Some people do with a phone and just a tablet. Robert |
