This, to me anyway, is the most frustrating part of the whole thing. Very rarely do we not get compensated when these things happen nowadays, so that’s just an inconvenience. But the fact that it derailed your due diligence is the killer. Try not to let it ruin your trip.

Yea, I tried really hard to advocate for myself and I think I did a decent job, the lady at the Verizon store called and she really did try to get me a new phone overnight shipped. However, I really think that the 256 GB should be enough storage for me. I just can’t stand feeling taken advantage of. As long as I’m getting refunded for the phone I never received, it is what it is. Just very frustrating overall.

Bro you will not need more than 256GB. I run 128Gb and still have plenty of space. Especially with everything being in the cloud.

Depends on what you do with it obviously. Maybe you take a lot of 4K videos.

I suppose, but that’s what the cloud is for, no?

Also, if you are taking 4k videos, I’d imagine you have a nice desktop or macbook to render the videos which you could also use to store.

I don’t, lol. I’ve decided I will be using the phone for my trip, so I have a working device for safety, then returning it and getting the 512.

Sync them to iCloud and turn on optimize storage. It will offload the bulk of the data for 4K.

(Buy extra storage for the $12-40 a year or so it’s very well worth it and it’s better than just leaving them on your phone)

Yea, I got the 2 TB of storage on iCloud. On my 64 GB X max, it wouldn’t upload any of my stuff to iCloud until I upgraded, because if it can’t upload all of it, it won’t upload any. I should be fine with iCloud for photos. If anything, it motivates me to clean up my camera roll.
