Images and videos with a high resolution take up a lot of space, so 64GB is really the 16GB version of the iPhone X. I would buy a 128GB version without hesitation. I think the Memory upgrade for the X is the cheapest of any iPhone, but I'm still not willing to hand over 200$ on top of 1000$ just for my phone to be usable. I wonder how many (non-technical) people follow the same line of thinking.
- valuearb 9y agoLOL, I have a bunch of apps, take lots of videos and pictures on my X and still have 46 gb left out of 64. You don’t understand Apples new compression formats, it’s use of app slicing and other techniques to minimize storage requirements.
- dwaite 9y agoImages and videos are not stored losslessly, so resolution is really a bogus measure of file size or quality - the unstated compression ratio and codec are a better measure. As an example - the same feature-length movie may have a 90 GB HEVC encode via a UHD Bluray, and a 8 GB HEVC encode via some online service - yet both are referred to only as "4k"
- emsy 9y agoYou're technically correct. My point was that a photo or video with the highest available quality on the new iPhones takes up more space than before.
