The iPhone is something that we can see pretty much everywhere right now. Either that or the equivalent when it comes to the competition. But there are a lot of iPhone’s and others out there and as such, we need to identify which one will be better to suit your needs and which one is going to be the best use of your money.
What Are the Key Differences of the 16GB and 32GB iPhone?
One of the things that really makes the price tag go up is the difference in the amount of GB (gigabytes) that the iPhones have. One model has 16 GB, and the other model has 32 GB (there is even one with 64 GB, but we’ll leave that one aside).
The difference is essentially in storage space. This means that the larger the storage space, the bigger the amount of files a phone can hold within it. This includes pretty much everything, ranging from pictures, to videos, to games and to every single app that keeps on storing information. Without storage space, you’d have nothing within.
So you’d think that if you like to have a lot of games and a lot of apps on your phone, than you would probably be better off with the 32 GB iPhone, right? Well, not so fast. The principle is completely right, but there are other factors involved.
Costs and Memory
Currently, the 16 GB iPhone costs $199, and the 32 GB iPhone costs $299. This means that you will be paying approximately $12 per GB on the first one, and approximately $9 per GB on the second one. Effectively, for the amount of storage space that you are provided, the second iPhone is cheaper.
But it doesn’t end there. There are memory cards available out there that will cost you a lot less than the difference you see in prices. For example, a 16 GB memory card will NOT cost you $100, and as such you could pay for the 16 GB iPhone and get a memory card in order to counter the price difference.
Or, if you don’t like to have to make a lot of purchases and manage a lot of things, you’d probably be better off buying the 32 GB iPhone if you think that you need the extra space for games, apps and every other thing you might have in there.
Remember that, if you just want your phone to have some basic apps and to play some basic games, 16 GB is way more than what you will ever need. Nowadays 16 GB might not look like much, but we need to remember that not long there were computers that didn’t even have one GB of storage space, let alone 16 GB of storage inside your own pocket.
