Comment on 16GB Is a Bad User Experience

Comments

I have no problems with 16GB iPhone which I've had since the 3G. Currently I have 72 apps installed. Syncing with 8 email addresses.

I use Spotify for music, and have an offline playlist with about 2GB songs. Photos and movies are synced to the cloud, and files older than 1 month are deleted from the device. I have 3.2GB available.

So while your points may be valid for some, I can manage fine with 16GB. And it's not like I'm thinking about it, and change my habits to have the 16GB phone.

37% of 16gb iPhone 6 users are unable to deal with it. So good for you being able to deal with it. A large amount of users can not.

No. 37% has less than 1GB available. It doesn't state anything about them not being able to deal with it. If I have all the apps and music I need, why should it be a problem with 800MB available. I can't believe so many infer that the majority have space issues just because they need 64GB for all their music stored offline and hours of video-recordings in 1080p themselves.

I have an 8GB android phone and have no problems with it.

If you want to take a lot of video and photos with your phone, buy one with a lot of storage. If you aren't in the habit of photographing your lunch before you eat it, you can get by with a lot less.

If you want to take a lot of videos and photos... use a camera.

It baffles me that people want one tool for all jobs.

convenience is baffling?

No, convenience isn't - but letting it trump utility really is.
