Is 256GB enough for an iPhone? Here's when you should go bigger

A 256-GB iPhone stores about 70,000 standard photos. One minute of 4K video consumes ~440 MB, ProRes ~6 GB, and a game like Resident Evil 4 exceeds 30 GB. iOS itself uses up to 24 GB, and AI models and offline maps add more. For high-resolution media, gaming, or offline use, a 512-GB or larger model is recommended.
