Thinking of getting a brand new iPhone 14 just like this iPhone 14 pro Max but don't know what
storage size you need well today I'm going to show you how to pick the correct iPhone storage
size just for you now just in case you've been living under a rock for the last few weeks there
are four iPhone 14 models we have the iPhone 14 the iPhone 14 plus the iPhone 14 pro and the
iPhone 14 pro Max just like that I've got here but there are different storage sizes for the iPhone
14 range so all four of the iPhone 14 models do storage options of 128 gigabytes 256 gigabytes 512
gigabytes and also just for the Pro Models like the 14 pro Max there's also a one terabyte option
now today I'm going to help you pick what is going to be the correct size storage that you will need
for your next iPhone well hopefully will be an iPhone 14. and don't worry if you don't understand
gigabytes or terabytes I'm just going to make it really really simple for you I'm going to show you
how many photos or how many apps or how many hours of video footage you can fit on all the different
storage sizes and from that you should be able to work out what iPhone is right for you now
the first step most likely you're probably moving from another iPhone or from another Android phone
to your brand new iPhone 14 model and you need to know how much storage size you've used if you have
an iPhone right now the best thing to do is go to settings then go to General then after this
go to iPhone storage and at the top here it might take a second or two for all your storage to sort
of sort itself out but it should give you the total amount of storage that you have used on
your iPhone and this should be the minimum amount of storage that you will need on your next phone
and what I'm talking about here is that say for example you've used say 130 gigabytes then you'll
know that the 128 gigabyte option is not going to be enough and instead you will definitely
need a 256 gigabyte model however if you say use I don't know like me for example I've used around 44
gigabytes or something like this then straight away I know that I could probably survive with
128 gigabyte option depending on how much I use my phone what I'll talk about in a moment I just
want to quickly also say that the way how to get your iPhone storage up is very different how you
can get it up on Android and I don't really know depending on the manufacturer kind of
phone you've got it's different ways of guessing it and showing how much storage you've used so
the best thing I would recommend is going onto your manufacturer's website find some help guys
and find out how to find out how much storage you've used on your phone and do that same sort
of example but if you have used for example 130 gigabytes of storage then you know 128 gigabytes
is not going to cut you so next let's talk about the different storage options and which one is
best for you now first of all I would say the 128 gigabyte option is the most popular one that is
sold out there most people pick this because it's the cheapest way of getting your iPhone 14 model
and it is a good idea to do this but sometimes it's also a bit of a negative tip depending on
what type of user you are now if you are a person who's just going to be taking a couple of photos
the odd video here and there and what I mean by this a couple of photos I'm literally saying
you're taking about say five to ten photos a week or for example you're taking one video a week and
that video is only up to say 30 seconds then 128 gigabytes is probably going to be more than enough
for you at the end of the day 128 gigabytes on an iPhone 14 model can store around about 27
000 to 35 000 photos that's if you had all of that storage available and that basically equates to
around about 45 hours of 1080p video footage not 4K 1080p video footage and that's almost two days
leaving your camera on Non-Stop and like I do say again that is using all of your storage and
as you'll know straight away your phone is using storage or other things like iOS 16 for example
and also your apps and talk about apps you you're probably wanting to know how many apps you could
fit on 128 gigabytes well let's say we did a rule of thumb here that each app was about 30 megabytes
big so I'm not talking those big 3D games out there I'm just talking like your standardy kind
of I don't know Fitness tracker apps out there or very very small for example then that type of app
is probably around about 30 sort of megabytes big if you had basically all your apps at 13 megabytes
big you could probably store about 3 000 apps on this iPhone with nothing else on it no iOS 16 no
photos just literally just the apps but I think you're getting the point here you're not going
to store 3 000 apps on your phone and you're probably not going to store say 30 000 sort of
photos on your phone all at the same time and if you are then you need to really step up onto the
next storage option and that next option is 256 gigabytes now personally I would say if you are
a person who's going to be taking photos sort of every day you know maybe a few every day so
maybe two or three or for example you're going to be taking say a video every day as well and
you're probably installing a brand new app I would say probably once a week or so then probably 256
gigabytes is right for you and the main reason why I would say that is basically all those numbers
I've just given you before are doubled so where I said where you could store say about 30 000 photos
this is now about 60 000 photos and that video for footage has also doubled up to about 90 hours of
1080P and you can also store around about say 6 000 apps at 30 megabytes and just in case you
don't know what I'm talking about I've skipped over this rewatched 128 gigabyte of storage up
some I just spoke about ideally I would say this storage option is really good if you're definitely
stepping up say from a 128 gigabyte option phone right now even if you say used 80 gigabytes in the
last sort of year or two on your last phone then I would still say get a 256 gigabytes because at
you in a day you're not probably going to be keeping this phone for a year most of you will
be probably keeping it for two years plus and you don't want to pick that wrong option of getting a
small 128 gigabytes filling it up and realizing you're gonna have to get a different phone to
basically put more onto your phone but there are other options as well including cloud storage but
I'll talk about that in a little bit but let's next of all talk about the next storage size
and that storage size is 512 gigabytes so as you can imagine everything doubles again in space and
what I mean is so for example you can store around about a hundred and forty thousand sort of photos
now on your iPhone and also at the same time you can record around about 200 hours of 1080p video
and if you don't know what I'm talking about here go back and rewatch The 256 gigabytes and
the 128 gigabyte storage options because it will basically give you the translation of photos and
videos into the kind of storage options so like I said everything doubles again and really I can't
really think of a way where you'd be storing say 12 000 apps on your phone it's very very I like
clay but this is probably more for people who are going to be out there recording 4K video probably
on their iPhone all the time also taking photos all the time as well maybe you are an amateur sort
of photographer or maybe you're a bit of a blogger or maybe you love Instagram a bit too much uh then
basically this is the storage option for you if you're basically taking a photo say every couple
of hours or you're doing a couple of videos every day this is going to be the best storage option
for you 512 gigabytes because you can have amples amount of space to do this with something else to
look forward to right now is the giveaway we're doing on this channel and recently I gave away a
14-inch MacBook Pro F1 Pro and if you want to know who won that do check out the video on my channel
but as we're approaching 500 000 subscribers that's half a million I'm doing something a
bit special I'm actually giving away three prizes to three lucky people this time so it's one price
for each person on an international giveaway again and I want to show you what those prizes are the
first one funnily enough is an iPhone 14 pro Max and this is a 256 gigabyte option model so to be
honest this will suit most people the next prize after that I'm gonna be giving away to one lucky
person is this it is a MacBook Air M2 and this is also the 10 core GPU option model and also has 16
gigabytes of RAM inside and then finally I'm giving away again another MacBook Pro M1 Pro 8
core 14 inch 16 gigabytes storage option with 512 gigabytes of storage inside and like I said I'm
giving away one of these prizes to three lucky people so one price per person and if you want
to be in a chance to win one of these prizes all you need to do is write down in the comments below
of what sort of Apple gear you're planning to buy in 2022 maybe it's going to be a MacBook Air like
this one here or maybe you're planning on getting yourself a brand new iPhone I would love to know
in the comments below and at the same time if you are brand new here make sure you also subscribe to
this Channel and also hit that notification Bell because I'll be making a video when we get over
500 000 subscribers announcing who the winner is now just on that note as well sadly there are lots
of scammers and spammers out there some of them even impersonating me telling you to Whatsapp them
or to telegram them and all those some of the most are telling you to part with some of your money
this is not me at all please do report these guys because they're making the community on YouTube
right mess at the moment so do ignore them and please also do report them and with that out the
way guys let's talk about the next storage option and that is the one terabyte option so again as
you can imagine with one terabyte everything is doubled again and if you don't know what
I'm talking about saying doubling everything go back watch the 512 gigabytes 256 gigabyte and also
the 128 gigabyte options of storage what I mean by this is that the amount of photos you can probably
store on this is so high in fact the total number you could actually probably store is 300
000 photos and not only this you could probably store around about almost between 450 to 500
hours of 1080p video on a one terabyte option and this is a huge amount of storage now this storage
option I would not be buying it just to go look at me I've got an iPhone 14 pro Max with a one
terabyte of storage you need to buy it if you're going to use it and you really need to know your
gonna definitely be using it because otherwise it is going to be a big waste of money I would
say right now if you are using your phone taking I don't know photos every day hundreds of photos
every day what you're going to use not that you go home and delete them that night and also that
you're recording saying about an hours of video footage every day and also keeping that video
footage and not deleting it then yeah you probably need the one terabyte option if you are a person
who goes through your photos after say a long day if you go out to say I don't know Disney World and
sort of delete half of your photos then probably I would not actually say that you would need one
terabyte don't get alluded into thinking that one terabyte is the best thing ever and talk about
the storage options a lot of people think that one day that when you go to sell your iPhone like that
probably you'll get more money for actually buying a higher storage amount right now I'm getting more
money in the future well to be honest that's not really the case I went on eBay recently and looked
at the iPhone 13 Pro Max and you can see here the prices they sit around about nine hundred
dollars to about a thousand dollars and this is the storage options of 128 gigabytes 256 gigabytes
and there's even a 512 in here and they're all around the same sort of price compared to Apple's
pricing that you can see here on their website what is the identical pricing to the iPhone 13
Pro Max in America only and that's just ads it is more expensive in other countries there is a 500
difference between all the storage options so that is going from 128 gigabytes all the way up to one
terabyte so it would cost you 500 more to do that and there is also a solution to get around that
for your storage if you don't really want to spend up to one terabyte but you still want to keep your
photos and that is iCloud plus now there are three tiers of iCloud plus storage options
and if just in case you didn't know what iCloud plus does this backs up all of your photos your
apps and everything into the cloud and basically if you did lose your phone or anything like that
all your photos are securely saved on Apple servers somewhere in the world and they are
very very secure by the way and you'd be able to retrieve all your photos back through a computer
like a Mac or a laptop by going to icloud.com or you'd be able to get your photos back also
going on and say another iPhone or another iPad if you've got a replacement one but something
else what's really really cool about iCloud plus is that once your photos are actually uploaded to
the cloud Apple quite a lot of the time actually delete the photo on your actual phone because
it's stored in the cloud and frees up space on your phone so basically you can take more photos
and you can also take more videos it's a really really cool thing to have now there are three
tier options one of them is 50 gigabytes and to be honest in 2022 I wouldn't actually say this
50 gigabyte option is really worth it anymore especially that you know there's 128 gigabyte
as the smallest option of iPhone 14s out there 50 gigabytes shouldn't really exist personally
I think the next tier should exist as the lowest amount and that is 200 gigabytes and that costs
three dollars a month to store all your photos in the cloud or up to 200 gigabytes of storage
of photos and apps and things like that into the cloud and it's really worth getting at if
you are buying yourself say the 128 gigabyte and also the 256 gigabyte storage option but also at
the same time there is also a two terabyte option and this is amazing because at internet there's
only one terabyte of storage on the iPhone 14 pro Mac for example as the highest amount and I would
recommend getting this it does cost ten dollars a month but when you think about it it probably does
work out to be cheaper to be buying this than actually buying and actually getting yourself
say a 128 gigabyte iPhone or 256 gigabyte iPhone instead of getting yourself a one terabyte over
say a two year contract it'd be cheaper to pay ten dollars a month plus all your photos are
completely secure plus it's also two terabytes so it's double the space of the highest spec or the
highest storage spec of an iPhone 14 that you can buy right now and like I said there is that core
option what iPhones do where they store things into the cloud and then sort of delete them off
your phone but you can still access them right there whenever you've got signal like Wi-Fi or
if you're in 5G 4G or 3G it's really really cool to use and it just synchronizes really really
well so I definitely look into that well guys with that as well it's time to wrap up this video so if
