Current Events > Apple calls 128GB 'lots of storage' in new iPhone 15 ad

(+) Yeah! (+)

God it's 133 once you add in the free 5 GB of icloud, more than enough!

Remember when you could expand storage with an sd card?

My phone has 128 GB of storage.

I am currently using 70.7 GB of it.

I'm also a 46 year old that doesn't live on their phone.

typical user uses a lot of social media and takes a lot of photos, especially the ones with children.

people who are fine with 128 aren't the typical ones nowadays.

Ive got nearly 40,000 pictures on my phone among other things, and Im at 63gb used.

Old phone had like 35,000 pictures, several thousand songs, and was at like 100 gb.

Especially nowadays, where people usually stream music and don't use storage on MP3s, you can get tens of thousands of pictures on your phone with 128gb

ok if we're talking anecdotes a relative's whatsapp images folders is 70gb by itself because the app autodownloads that shit and they don't wanna delete it because they might look at it again.

there's maybe a handful of people I know that even bother to properly sort their stuff out, let alone back them up to another storage.

Its not a lot for but a general user its probably fine enough.

And your relative is absolutely not a "typical user" or whatever shit you're trying to go with here.

"we simply don't have any room for a 3.5mm port in our phones"

meanwhile, every modern phone is huge in comparison to the smart phones of 10 years ago.
my prev smart phone, a sony xz1 compact, is teeny tiny compared to all recent iPhone models and it has a 3.5mm port AND a microSD slot..

No, that's the bare minimum these days.

Your previous phones didnt have wireless charging and multiple high quality cameras and bigger batteries and waterproof up to X amount of meters and such. Its false equivalence.

Who the hell wants all that shit when you could have a 3.5 jack instead?

Next they'll take out the phone so it can predict the paths of nearby meteors.

Nobody cares about the jack. You guys need to get over it.

I'll never understand why morons continue to fall for Apple's bullshit.

I'm serious. What do you even need the dumb cluster of three cameras for? Why would you take the thing SCUBA diving?
