How much storage space photos take up depends on the number of photos and your personal needs. There are detailed factors for this issue.

  • The amount of photos you now have or intend to take and store on your device is the main determining factor.
  • File sizes for photos with higher resolution, such those from a newer iPhone camera, can go up to 5MB.
  • The size of a video file can vary greatly depending on the bitrate and video resolution—from 50MB to several gigabytes (GB) per minute of footage.
  • The file sizes can increase even further if you alter your photos or work with RAW image formats; these files typically range from 10 to 50 MB each.

Here is a simple guide on the storage photos needed:

  • Usual user: 32GB to 128GB of iPhone storage is typically plenty for the average user who shoots a moderate number of photos (a few hundred to a few thousand).
  • Photographer: For people who is more active and shoots a lot of high-resolution photos and films can benefit more from having 256GB to 1TB of iPhone storage.
