i was considering upgrading my iphone xs 512gb to 13 pro 1tb, but do you think iphone 14 pro 256gb is more worth it?

in my local store, they’re the same price with that storage (meanwhile 14 pro 512gb would be 200 usd more expensive, 14 pro 1tb would be 400 usd more).

i would also like to say that price would be one of the main considerations. my budget is fairly limited since i live in a developing country without any apple stores, so all products are sold by authorised resellers (which significantly inflate the price).

thank you in advance for your advices!

    1TB is a lot of storage and I think very few people use that much. Do you have a specific reason to need that much? The biggest difference between the two is likely the storage, so make sure it’s the one that you need. While iPhones have a justified reputation for insufficient storage, the minimum/default is the problem. If the smaller storage meets your needs, I’d go for the newer one on the idea it may be supported longer

    I got 256GB, which gave me sufficient space to download every free game that seemed remotely interesting and I’ve never come close to running out. However I’ve never even tried most so really ought to clean up

    Other big usages of storage tend to be:

    — photos/videos. I don’t edit videos and my photos are in iCloud with just thumbnails. What are your needs here?

    – music. I stream, rather than own, so not much here. Which do you do?
