I just get a phone with big storage, right now using an iphone with 1 TB.
And I discover I actually use the photos a lot:
- through the geo-location map of all photos - when I am trying to remember something, show somebody a specific memory, nudge my memory about a place or region I have visited, a hiking trail that I've followed, that view from that LA trip, etc.
- through iOS photo search - it is not perfect but in 60% of the cases I actually find what I am looking for
- random highlights that the OS gives me - I sometimes deep dive with Show in all photos and look at what I was doing back then
All my photos are synced in the cloud but I spend lots of time in the mountains, in the wilderness or travelling, so I prefer to have them all on my phone for the moments when internet connection is missing.
With all of these I actually feel very connected to my whole photo library.
