Yea, I am getting it refunded. She (the associate) told me that 256 GB should be more than enough, though, and most of her sales are actually the lower option (168 GB or whatever it is, I don’t recall). I hope it will be enough and that she wasn’t just trying to satiate me since she couldn’t get me the 512 GB phone next day before my trip.

I have 512gb and have over 5200 songs, over 4200 photos, and 70 videos, and still have 430 gb left. 256gb should be enough.

I have 25k photos, 1.5k videos and still over 200gb free of a 256gb phone.

I could easily go with a 128gb these days.

I upgraded to a 13 promax a year ago, and wanted the 1tb because I knew I’d have a lot of music on it. Couldn’t find a 1tb anywhere, but it seems I don’t really need it. I still haven’t added the 8000 to10000 songs I have on my iPod, but even won’t use up half of the 516gb.

Do you happen to know how much you used on your previous phone? I'm not restrictive in any way on my 256GB model and it still has plenty of space. I don't record a lot of video, but have tons of pictures. Music is mostly via Spotify so there's not a ton downloaded for offline use.

It still sucks that this happened and I wish they could more easily catch the thieves. However, maybe if you look at your old phone capacity usage you can determine if the 256 GB is really an issue or not. Otherwise, Verizon should have a 30-day(ish) return policy and you could potentially return it to another Verizon store during your trip and get a larger capacity phone.

On my previous phone, I had to buy the 2TB of iCloud data. My apps would offload themselves, my phone was constantly having issues because I had no space, and I could only have 1 social media app at once.

Edit to add: I’m going to return the phone after my trip and order a 512, and have it sent to the store. I’ll be in a 36 month payment which I’ll have to follow through to get my $800 trade in at the end of the 36 months. To me, the $200 price difference over 36 months is worth it to not have to worry about storage. I’m just wondering if I should order it now, so it’s at the store when I’m back from my trip?
