if you have a large collection of music then i would definatly look into buying the 64gb iphone, or even the 32? when i got my ip4 i thought 16gb would be more than enough for me, but as time went on i decided to sell my ipod touch and transfer all my music to my iphone, this is where the 32 or 64 would be handy! so id recomend getting as high as u feel u can affoard to buy.

abit of googling brought me up with this, but not that sue how accurate this is

"Assuming an average size MP3 file, that is encoded at around 160Kbps, and about 3.5 minutes long, the size will be around 4Mb. while this can't be true to 100% of your music, it's probably a fairly good average to consider, and at that rate, you can place about 8,000 songs on the 32Gb iPod."



however with an iphone apps, contacts photo's etc will take up some of that memory too so that is actually a really rough estimation, my advice would be to maybe calculate how much Gb your current music collection stands at and use that as a rough guide.

I went with the 64 because you never know how much stuff you will really use the phone for. Its better to do to much than to little, you never know how much you need it till its to late.

very true, i regret only getting the 16gb. but plan to make up for it and get atleast a 32gb ipad2 ina few weeks

If you don't put a lot of movies on your phone then I think 32g might be enough for you. I have the 32 and have a good amount left.

usually the 16 GB is enough.many people like larger storage like 32 GB and 64 GB.but how many of them can use half of the storage ??

If using their iPhone for movies then it's easy done.

Ive used up 9gb of my 16 allready in just a few months with mostly music and apps. Its quite easily done.

Did you know you can exchange the 16GB for a bigger one?

I did, bought 16GB on a Sunday and exchanged it that Friday for a 32GB. Only paid the difference of the phones.
