When buying a new mobile phone, it is often difficult for users to determine how much storage space they need? At present, flagship mobile phones generally provide 512GB-1TB capacity, but this is actually a waste for most users. Apple Support has now released a short video with advice on how to find out how much storage space you need.
In September last year, Apple launched the iPhone 13 Pro/Max with a capacity of up to 1TB, followed by news that Apple is preparing to provide the iPhone 14 Pro series with up to 2TB NAND flash memory in 2022. IT Home has learned that the current Apple non-Pro model iPhone has a storage capacity of up to 512GB.
To better assist users, Apple Support has released a video titled “How to choose your iPhone storage capacity.” “If you’re buying a new iPhone, you can find out what’s best for you by looking at how much storage you’re currently using,” Apple said.
If you can see how much storage your phone is currently using, you can determine if you should use less storage, or more storage, or if the same amount of storage is better. Of course, if you know yourself well, you probably already know how much storage space you have on your phone, how much space you’re using, and whether you might be using more space in the future.
For iPhone users, it’s not too difficult either. On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, and at the top of the screen, you can see how much storage you’re using and how much is available to you.
In addition, iPhone users can also see a breakdown of the current iPhone file types. For example, using the color coding on the iPhone Storage measurement tool, you can quickly see if your phone is full of apps, photos, videos, mail and messages. Apple said, “If you’re getting close to the capacity limit, you should consider a larger capacity iPhone.”
If you have a lot of unused space, Apple recommends that you choose a storage capacity similar to the current model for your next iPhone. It’s worth noting that even in this case, Apple doesn’t recommend that you buy a phone with less storage capacity.
