Phones have tb of space?

IPhones start with 128GB of space and charges a hefty premium for storage.

I would deffo not want a game to consume 40G of space



yes, you can configure the pro max to 1tb.

if you buy the smallest configuration storage, you will have to care more. that’s the choice.


Except the storage choices don't make sense. Storage is extremely cheap right now, the base should be at least 512GB, yet we have to pay premium to get a reasonable amount of space.


send tim an email.

how many people actually use their space? really use it. not just use a quarter of it and keep the rest in reserve.

my phone has 256gb right now. 150gb are free. (cloud storage doing its part.) that’s two large games and 40gb+ to spare. so as much as a larger capacity would allow for more, this is still… fine.


They'd use it a lot more if they were regularly downloading 40GB+ games to it. One of the biggest criticisms of the $300 Xbox Series S is that it only has ~350 GB free to the user. And while RE4 Remake is 40GB it is no where near the biggest. Mortal Kombat 1 is 100GB, Starfield is 100+ GB, Baldur's Gate 3 is 100GB+.


sure, but now you’re comparing apples to potatoes.
