128 GB Isn’t Enough If You’re Shooting 4K Video

One of the iPhone’s biggest selling points is its ability to shoot beautiful 4K video at 60 fps, which is the dream for anyone trying to create amazing movies or videos.

However, shooting high-definition videos comes with a price: storage. A single minute of footage can take up to 600 MB of storage, which means you can only store a little over 200 minutes of video on your iPhone. And that’s assuming the iPhone’s 128 GB of storage is all available from the get-go, which it isn’t.

Two hundred minutes of video might seem like a good number, but think about the other stuff you’ll have on your iPhone, like pictures, apps, and games. Not only that, but being able to store only 200 minutes of 4K videos for the next five to seven years feels like nothing. You can offload some of it to iCloud if you’re willing to pay for an iCloud storage plan, but that money could be better spent on a higher-capacity iPhone instead.
