If not, consider a pre-owned, <a href=\"http:\/\/buy.gazelle.com\/buy\/used\/catalog\/iphones\">certified<\/a> iPhone from Gazelle. But let\u2019s say you\u2019ve made the decision to purchase the latest and greatest iPhone. The next issue staring you in the face: \u201cHow much storage do I need for my apps, pics, and other media?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s kind of an important decision, and you want to get this one right. Make the wrong decision and next time you take a group selfie, you\u2019ll be greeted by that message of doom \u2013\u201cstorage full\u201d\u2013 as you frantically try to free up space. We\u2019ve all been there.<\/p>\n<p>So, how much storage is adequate for your needs \u2013 32 GB, 128GB, or the Big Kahuna, 256 GB? Consider these factors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The iPhone 7 features 12-megapixel cameras that can shoot 4K video. Plan to take those videos in 4k? It\u2019s really easy then to eat up your local storage in no time at all.<\/li>\n<li>Do you stream or download movies on to your phone? This is a big difference maker in terms of conserving space. If you\u2019re not sure how much media you typically consume, start tracking it so you are aware of how much space your apps and movies are taking up.<\/li>\n<li>Do you use the cloud on a regular basis to store pics and video?<\/li>\n<li>How routinely do you delete photos, videos, apps, and messages?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>32GB<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019ll use your iPhone 7 to text and visit various websites, you should be able to survive with 32GB.<\/li>\n<li>If you keep your iPhone light on apps and games \u2013 and rarely shoot video or pics \u2013 you might be able to get away with 32GB.<\/li>\n<li>If you are a diehard streamer, who never downloads movies and TV shows, then the minimum storage capacity should work for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>128GB<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you insist on downloading movies, music, and TV shows, then you\u2019ll need at least 128GB.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re shooting photos like there\u2019s no tomorrow and video too, then you\u2019ll need 128GB or 256GB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>256GB<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you shoot 4K video, download a ton of games and graphic-intensive apps, such as Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook, then 256GB is for you.<\/li>\n<li>Said another way: If your iPhone 7 is your lifeline to the outside world, and you have no identity without it, then go for 256GB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If being able to store pics, songs, and other media is important to you, then you should absolutely consider adding extra storage space to your iPhone 7.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that Apple has never given iPhone users the ability to use an SD card for extra storage space. Essentially, then, your choice is between purchasing additional storage space and using the cloud. The latter has some drawbacks, such as not being able to access your files in the cloud without a wireless or mobile data connection.<\/p>\n<p><em>photo courtesy of Forbes.com<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How much is the iPhone 7 and can you afford it?
