iPhone storage and cellular bandwidth are still extremely expensive. Over $100 for a measly 16gb of storage or 4gb of LTE.

- mikeash 10y ago$100 gets you 48GB of storage these days, and at my overage rates it would buy about 7GB of transmission. Not that this really changes your point.
- GavinMcG 10y agoIs 16GB really that measly when it comes to podcasts? Even at, say, 128MB per hour (!) you've got over 100 hours of capacity there. Enough for a full waking week, nonstop.
- sthrs 10y agoPeople with 16 GB iPhones really struggle with running out of storage. Some may be lucky to fit one 128 MB podcast on their phone.
- slavik81 10y agoAndroid takes up 6.5GB, the dozen-ish apps I use seem to take 3.5GB. So, that leaves 6GB of general storage. The browser cache and all music, photos and podcasts need to fit into those 6GB. A single episode of a podcast may be an hour and a half. If you are subscribed to 5 weekly podcasts, then that's about 1GB of data you'll need. If you're going on a long trip, maybe you stock up. That might take 3GB or 4GB... But that probably won't fit on your phone. It certainly doesn't fit on mine.
