iPhone 4: How much storage space do you need?

If you have chosen iPhone 4 as your new smartphone, there is only one question left: How much storage space do you actually need?

iPhone 4 8, 16 or 32 GB - what suits me?

Unlike most Android smartphones, you cannot expand the storage space of Apple's mobile devices with a memory card.

The first thing to ask yourself is how you want to use your iPhone at all. Is it only for phone calls, do you only need a few apps or do you want to have your entire music collection with you? There is a different model for each type.
Apps: Each app requires a different amount of storage space. Most utilities require only a few MBs, a maximum of 20 to 30. Games such as Angry Birds can already occupy several hundred MB (see picture).
Music: 200 to 300 songs take up about a GB of storage space. A small music collection consisting of your favorite songs is still slim on the right. However, true music fans usually occupy a large part of your iPhone with music.
Videos: Self-made videos take up at least 50 MB per minute. A 90-minute movie requires around 700 MB of storage space.
Photos: The photos add up to only two to three MB per photo. However, keep in mind that these are snapped quickly and therefore also pile up quickly.
Briefly consider which and how many apps, songs, videos and photos you would like to have on your iPhone. Depending on the result, the decision may already have been made here.

8 GB: The model with the smallest memory is now available from around 340 euros. For phone calls, SMS, Whatsapp, a few apps and games, your favorite music and several photos, 8 GB are sufficient. Due to the small price difference to the 16 GB model, you should really only choose this if you don't have high demands on the iPhone.
16 GB: The 16 GB model costs around 350 euros. The size of the storage space is perfect for the average consumer. A lot of data has space here, but if you always want to have everything with you in several areas such as music, video and photo, you will quickly get problems here.
32 GB: The model with the largest storage space is available from around 400 euros. An entire music collection can now easily fit here.
iPhone 4S 64 GB: If that's not enough, you can use 64 GB of storage. Unfortunately there is no 4-series model with such a memory size. Only the newer iPhone 4S is equipped with 64 GB. Not only do you get a lot more memory, you also get a much lighter, faster, and more advanced device. However, this also has its price of at least 590 euros.
