#IPHONE 11 US VARIANT OFFLINE#
I’ve downloaded a handful of Disney Plus episodes for offline viewing, a few Netflix titles, and a handful of podcast episodes. Then there’s the data downloaded within those apps. I’ve got streaming services, like Disney Plus, Netflix, Foxtel Now, Binge, Stan and Prime Video, work-related productivity apps like PowerBI and Slack, every food delivery app in Australia (and a couple of international options), travel apps like Airbnb, Tripview, and Google Translate. Currently, I have 78 apps downloaded on my device (outside of system apps that come downloaded on the device). I’m a sucker for an innovative app, even if I end up using about half of them.

#IPHONE 11 US VARIANT ARCHIVE#
At the time of writing, I’ve got about 17 games downloaded on my device - which is way more than I need and I could happily archive at least 10 of those.
#IPHONE 11 US VARIANT DOWNLOAD#
When I first purchased my iPhone 11, I subscribed to Apple Arcade, the subscription-based service that allows you to download a wide selection of games. However, that jump is going be much more meaningful for those who want to take video content or load up their device with mobile games.Īpps and games use up just over 50% of the storage on my iPhone 11.

For instance, the jump from 128GB to 256GB is not going to be huge for those who expect photos to eat up most of their on-device storage.

The table below breaks down the suitability of each storage tier, illustrating how significant the additional storage each offers is likely to be for each use case. However, Apple still charges a fee for additional iCloud storage, so if you snap more photos, and record more videos than most people you know, there’s still value in upgrading to a model with 128GB (iPhone 11) or 256GB (iPhone 11 Pro) if you want to avoid another monthly charge. Most people are comfortable with the idea of having their data and memories stored online, rather than locally. There’s also less confusion surrounding online backup systems, like iCloud. Not only do the latest baseline models offer more storage, but iPhones are a lot smarter at managing that storage, and will clean up unused files and large attachments behind the scenes. That’s four times as much storage as the old 16GB baseline model and more than enough for most users. The 64GB iPhone 11 and 64GB iPhone 12 are the lowest available storage options in their respective ranges. To help you decide whether a 64GB iPhone 11 or iPhone 12 is good enough for your needs, I thought I’d break down my phone usage habits, and what’s taking up the most storage in my handset. I do download a lot of games and apps, however, and it’s those downloads that hog the most space on my iPhone’s internal memory. I also don’t purchase music digitally anymore now that I’ve, regrettably, shifted to streaming my music exclusively. I’m not the most snap-happy iPhone user, and I know a few parents who would see my camera roll and raise it tenfold. I do this dance every time it’s time to upgrade: I consider paying the premium for extra storage before checking how much I actually use and realising the baseline storage model will cover my needs just fine.Įven as my smartphone and mobile data usage multiplies each year, my needs are usually met by the lowest available capacity, and therefore, the cheapest model. Every time Apple releases a new iPhone with a new baseline storage capacity, I stop and wonder if I’m out of touch before reminding myself that, no, it’s the children who are wrong.
