Fayetteville, North Carolina - September 18, 2017 — 10 years ago, when the very first iPhone was launched, it only had the available built-in storage space of 4 and 8GB—by which at that time was already a fair amount of space considering that was the maximum storage space available for the micro SD in the market and other third-party apps for Apple phones were not as prevalent as it is now. However, it has been 10 years and a lot has changed especially our needs when it comes to storage space. Now, we have an available storage space of 64GB and in just 10 years, the value given to the 8GB storage space is given the same with the 64GB, we even now have the whopping 256GB model. But which option is perfect for you? Here from New Wave Wireless iPhone repair Fayetteville, we will be helping you in figuring out the best storage option for you.

To be frank, when Apple says you have 64GB of space available for your latest iPhone 8, it is not exactly the whole truth. A fraction of that space will obviously be taken up by the iOS and some of its core applications. Remember, almost 3.7GB will be eaten up by the OS itself as well as up to hundreds of megabytes eaten up by local apps such as your Safari browser, Music, and of course the Maps. While the numbers may vary from one device against the other, but the truth is still the same—you will still end up having only a total of 60GB of storage space available on your iPhone. So the next time you approach a cell phone repair Fayetteville NC for your storage clean-up concerns—you already know what you are dealing with.

How about we take into account some of the popular apps that most iPhone users download onto their iPhones such as VSCO, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, Skype, your digital calendar or scheduling app of your choice and etc—all of these as well as with 10 other popular apps for iPhones will take up more than just 3GB of your space, hopefully still not taking into account all the photos, music, videos, and files saved from these apps. But what about the games? In today’s modern age, people are bound to have at least one gaming app on their phone as a form of recreational activity and a way for cheap distraction, that is going to take up more storage space as well. By now, the estimation will be 7.5GB.

So which one should you choose? With your typical iPhone 8 with 64GB in storage, you will be able to listen to 1000 songs, save 2500 live photos of your memories, 2500 regular photos, an hour worth of 4k videos with the impressive 30fps, most of your apps needed and a few of the popular games chosen. If this seems fine for you, then choosing the iPhone 8 with 64GB worth of storage will be perfect for you. If you know yourself that you will be needing so much more for work or for school, then I advise you that you spend more money in availing the one with 256GB of storage so you will not end up with the iPhone reminding you more about how you should delete some files to free up space.
