Since the hardware is identical other than storage size, each of us now has a framework to decide if you'll also have an iPod touch in a larger capacity or an iPad I had a 32 GB iPad when I got this phone and now carry a 64 GB iPad to compensate for my phone's limited storage on the go and want to skimp on your iPhone. By looking at where else you could spend that up charge for a 32 GB model on perhaps more apps, more insurance, or more eating dinner out.
How big is your iTunes library? Do you want to carry movies and TV shows on your phone in case you happen to want to watch them while waiting somewhere? How big are the last photos you've taken in your iPhoto library? Do you like to shoot video with your phone? Then, what about apps? Some apps are much larger than others.
GarageBand and Pages in particular are not small. There is no external storage like SD card slots, so the capacity you buy is the capacity the device has for its lifetime. For me, 16GB doesn't fit the songs alone I'd want on my iPod, let alone photos, videos, and other app content. On the other hand, one would need to shoot and store a lot of video to run into the 64GB limit or want to keep a lot of feature-length movies on the phone just in case.

Active 8 years, 9 months ago. Viewed k times. I'm also not planning to get a data plan, if that matters. Improve this question. I don't know what plans are available where you live, but check to be sure not getting a data plan is an option; a data plan is often mandatory. The problem on the iPhone is that you can't expand memory with an external memory card.
So choose carefully for your needs. DanielLawson where I live, it's quite possible to get an iPhone phone plan, without a data plan.
You just need to jump through some hoops, like getting a cut mini sim card. Those who are rendering large files or doing other memory intensive work, should consider going with 32GB or more.
But outside of those kinds of use cases, most of us can get by just fine with 16GB. None of the games I tested used close to 16GB, let alone Some users on the productivity side of things who manipulate large files, or more than one at once, should consider 32GB or more.
Certainly, there are situations where more than 16GB can be used, which would of course push the user to the next tier of 32GB. That drive can then be used as a scratch disk for projects, which is notably faster than having it on a traditional drive--even a very past PCIe SSD.
In those cases, having a RAM disk can cut project times down, and make general performance like scrubbing through an unrendered video project more smooth and responsive. So where does that leave us? Is 8GB enough? Is 32GB needed? Using 16GB, most users are able to leave the tasks they are working on up and running and play a game or do extra work without eclipsing that mark and paging out, potentially creating a negative user experience.
That said, the extra capacity if unused does allow users to create a RAM disk for ultra-fast disk access, which could benefit some applications and tasks.
If you see your system often getting close to 16GB, then you may want to go ahead and jump into a 32 GB kit, now that prices are lower than they have been for years. If prices slip substantially further you can grab yourself a matching set of low-cost sticks and drop them in alongside your existing pair.
A system with four sticks installed may not clock as high as a dual-DIMM setup, but if you can actually make use of that extra memory, having twice as much will be far more beneficial than having half as much that runs a bit slower.

Hey, And the answers not 16GB From what I gather for gaming it makes virtually zero difference to frame rates, at the moment of course, but what about general system responsiveness?
I've read a few comments in various places that for general Windows stuff and PC usage, having 32GB can increase the snappiness of a computer? Is this the case? I've currently got a Ryzen X to be installed tomorrow along with 16GB of RAM, just considering if I need to upgrade to 32GB whilst the prices are still somewhat normal and if it makes a positive difference?
Any input gratefully received, thanks. Wont make any difference unless you use programs that need that much memory or have a ton of stuff open. I am using chrome 5 tabs , edge 4 tabs , 2 copies of visual studio, android studio, remote desktop, load of background apps and its still only using 7gig of memory So, depends what you do.
In my gaming use case it has helped as I have started using a lot of ortho4xp in xplane 11 so going from 16 to 32 has helped my fps. I could see xplane using about 13gb of the 16 and would start to slow down.
