Is a 128GB iPhone an overkill?

[kenchi]

But to fully restore a 128 or 256 data via iCloud won't be so slow meh

That's convenient

Yet to use iCloud for backup

Mainly becoz of small capacity that comes 'free'

Been thinking of subscribing for more storage

Will be good becoz it forces users to organizer the stay sorted more frequently

Do you guys pay for iCloud to back up all those GBs?

I will not mind a 50GB plan for $1 per month.

Is getting a 128GB iPhone for myself overkill?

Depends on user
But I observed, when it's 60% filled, it 'lags'

I clean up photos very often, uploaded to google photos, and keep the inportant copy on iMac, also, I got Apple Music, 64GB still very sufficient la.

BTW, I just got to know that IOS 11 can family share iCloud storage, big thank you ya.

for me, 128GB is not overkill. It is just right for my usage. I started from iPhone 4 to 6S and all data are transferred.

e.g Netflix offline download and spotify download already occupy too much space.

If you have kids or into taking lots of video then you need plenty of GB.

I do regular housekeeping by deleting duplicate or unwanted pic/video. I dont transfer them out.

it takes awhile especially when you have a lot of apps. i did once

it will be very very very slow specially if if it is more than 64GB

iCloud restore is last hope if you loose your phone. Otherwise, use iTunes backup when switching to new phone
