Adam Kos The more built-in memory you want in your iPhone, the more you'll pay for it. However, the additional fees for storage are not small. Many simply reach for the foundation, but they can run out of it quite soon. A more interesting strategy for increasing memory might be in iCloud rather than in hardware.
If we look at the current generation of iPhone 15 Pro, we have 128, 256, 512 GB variants and also 1 TB. The difference between the lowest and the highest memory is a relatively crazy 15 thousand CZK. At the same time, the 128GB iPhone 13 costs only 3 thousand more. In addition, Taiwanese research firm TrendForce now introduced, that he expects that Apple will also start offering 2026TB iPhones by 2. But does it make sense?

I can live with less, having been able to survive fairly well for many years with the 128GB version of the iPhone, paying for the basic 200GB iCloud storage, when I also used iCloud photos (but now I pay for 2TB storage because of my family). But an opportunity arose with the iPhone 15 Pro Max and I have it in the 1TB version. You can see in the gallery below to what extent this storage will be used by a more demanding, i.e. not quite common, user who does not shoot in RAW and does not record ProRes videos.
And I don't limit myself in any way, so I have 264 apps in my storage, games that I don't play, I just forget to delete them, downloaded shows from streaming platforms that I don't delete immediately after playing them, and I don't even empty the trash with deleted photos. At the same time, I'm still only using almost 142 GB, and that's almost a year after I switched from the 128 GB iPhone 13 Pro Max. Of course, I understand that there will be those for whom even 2 TB will not be enough, but how many are there in reality? And how many really need to jump from 200 GB of shared iCloud storage to 2 TB right away?

Internet coverage is constantly improving not only here, but all over the world, and we already take it for granted. Physical storage is a clear limitation, where I personally would rather pay nicer money for virtual space than be somehow dependent on hardware. Just because I don't see the potential in such a space doesn't mean you don't, but I'd rather choose from more options in the size of the virtual space than the one built into the iPhone. If only we could Apple rather, it provided 1TB of iCloud storage for a price between 79 and 249 CZK, rather than just sweeping the thought of buying a 2TB iPhone off the table when that storage will remain mostly unused anyway.
