how much storage space do you need?

You can order the new iPhone since September 9, and you can choose from different storage capacities. But which one should you take? No worries, iPhoned tells exactly how much storage space your iPhone 14 should have.

Storage space iPhone 14: what you need

The iPhone 14 (Plus) and iPhone 14 Pro (Max) start this year with 128 GB of storage and you can even go up to 1 TB with the Pro version. These are the same options as with last year’s iPhone 13. Because you can no longer expand the amount of storage capacity of your iPhone 14 Pro afterwards with a memory card, it is important to make a good choice right away.

128GB: iPhone 14 + iPhone 14 Pro

This is the minimum amount of storage you get when you buy an iPhone 14. It is probably sufficient for the average user. But then you should in any case use Apple iCloud for the storage of your photos and videos.

In addition, check how much storage space you use on your current iPhone. If you don’t plan to store more photos, videos and music on your iPhone in the future, then you can assume that with 128 GB you have enough space for all your apps and games. NB! you cannot shoot 4K ProRes videos on the iPhone 14 Pro with 128 GB. You need more storage for that.

• iPhone 14 with 128 GB: 1019 euros;
• iPhone 14 Plus with 128 GB: 1169 euros;
• iPhone 14 Pro with 128 GB: 1329 euros;
• iPhone 14 Pro Max with 128 GB: 1479 euros.

256GB: iPhone 14 + iPhone 14 Pro

Doubling the amount of storage space is recommended if you don’t use iCloud, but want to store a lot of photos, videos, and music on your iPhone 14. Especially if you regularly film and photograph in Apple ProRAW, 128 GB is quickly too little. With a doubling to 256 GB, you avoid that problem and you can easily store a lot of files and install apps.

Even if you plan to film in ProRes (Apple’s professional video codec), you choose 256 GB of storage space on your iPhone 14 (Pro). Recording ProRes in 4K only works on models with 256 GB or more. If you are going to use it a lot, it is even worth considering going a step higher.

• iPhone 14 with 256 GB: 1149 euros;
• iPhone 14 Plus with 256 GB: 1299 euros;
• iPhone 14 Pro with 256 GB: 1459 euros;
• iPhone 14 Pro Max with 256 GB: 1609 euros.

512GB: iPhone 14 + iPhone 14 Pro

With 512 GB, you play it safe in all cases, even if you don’t use iCloud. You can film, photograph, store music and install apps to your heart’s content. It is virtually impossible that you will quickly run into the limits of your storage capacity.

Only choose this option if you really film a lot in 4K and shoot in Apple ProRAW and want to save everything on your iPhone. Otherwise it is really a waste of your money.

• iPhone 14 with 128 GB: 1409 euros;
• iPhone 14 Plus with 128 GB: 1559 euros;
• iPhone 14 Pro with 128 GB: 1719 euros;
• iPhone 14 Pro Max with 128 GB: 1,869 euros.

1TB: iPhone 14 Pro (Max)

With the Pro models of the iPhone 14 you can choose 1 TB, or 1000 GB. That is an enormous amount of space. This option is really only for people who want to keep a lot, need a lot of storage space and want to use the iPhone 14 as a kind of external hard drive, for example.

If you really need 1TB of storage, you already know that about yourself. But for most people, this amount is really way too much. And in that case you pay for empty space.

• iPhone 14 Pro with 1 TB: 1979 euros;
• iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1 TB: 2129 euros.
