Critics dismissing 1TB iPhone as surplus? Here's why it's worth every penny.

As announced on Apple's official website, this year's event took place at 10 a.m. on September 7th under the theme 'Far out'. The world got a glimpse of the masterpiece - iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. Apple has made significant upgrades to the display with Dynamic Island technology, providing optimized display capabilities. With Dynamic Island, it's like having a customizable portion of the screen. The Always On Display feature is always ready to showcase the screen's beauty. The phone's camera sees a superior upgrade with a resolution of over 48MP. The phone comes in various storage options, with the highest-end version boasting a massive 1TB of storage. Real user experiences suggest that 1TB of storage isn't as excessive as you might think, with many customers even willing to upgrade to 2TB in the future if Apple offers such massive storage upgrades.

Capture Photos and Videos Without Worrying About Running Out of Space

Previously, Apple initiated its iPhone lineup with storage capacities starting from 64GB and topping at 512GB. With the Series, the base iPhone 13 model began at 128GB, and the iPhone 13 Pro models went up to 1TB. Continuing this tradition, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models are also equipped with 1TB of storage to allow users to comfortably store their data.

However, there are still conflicting opinions, with many customers questioning the necessity of 1TB storage as they don't think they'll use that much. While most people can manage with 128GB storage on the iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro, the iPhone 14 Pro 1TB is indeed very necessary, especially for those who habitually store large amounts of photos and videos on their phones.

According to the general consensus, it seems people upgrade their iPhones every year in pursuit of the latest and greatest camera features that Apple brings to them. Meeting the expectations of iFans, Apple has upgraded the main camera of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max to a high 48MP resolution along with 2x zoom capability for vertical photos. Therefore, owning the iPhone 14 Pro 1TB tends to encourage people to take more photos to capture the sweet moments of life.

Moreover, many users have taken a lot of photos on their old iPhones and still want to preserve those memories when switching to a newer iPhone. The 1TB storage allows them to comfortably store previous moments and not worry about shooting or recording in the next future. Using 1TB of storage won't make users headache about what to delete to reduce storage space.

High-quality image and video formats consume a lot of storage

With this year's iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, Apple also introduces a very interesting feature - the cinematic mode, with some professional tools dedicated to video recording. A prime example is ProRes video and ProRaw image formats, with ProRes being a professional high-quality video format that doesn't compromise image quality in terms of detail. Therefore, recording a minute of ProRes video can consume nearly 6GB of storage space.

While some basic users may not care about image quality and therefore don't need ProRes, for specific industries like filmmaking, ProRes is an essential part of their workflow. For ProRes 4K videos at 30 frames per second, you need at least 256GB, so the iPhone 14 Pro 1TB is the perfect choice for data storage, allowing you to unleash creativity without any worries.

Although ProRaw files on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max may not be as high quality as those from dedicated cameras, they still offer better detail and color compared to regular files. For those who need phone-captured photos with better quality, ProRaw is an optimal choice, and each ProRaw photo can take up to about 60 MP, so even with 1TB storage, shooting ProRaw may not be entirely comfortable.

Enjoy Gaming, Render Videos without Memory Concerns

With the iPhone 14 Pro 1TB, you can now comfortably download games with deeper graphics without worrying about running out of space. In reality, with just 128GB of storage, heavy action and graphics games can quickly devour your device's storage. For instance, the game 'Nhat Mong Giang Ho' alone takes up to 16GB of storage, or the hottest game currently, Genshin Impact, occupies over 20GB. Equipping a 1TB storage will undoubtedly ensure you don't miss out on gaming experiences with top-notch graphics.

The Apple A16 Bionic chip is one of the highest-performing chips in today's smartphone market. Many users require high-quality video recording, rendering on video editing platforms, etc. For YouTubers, TikTokers, or Vloggers who frequently edit videos on their phones, exporting a 1-minute Full HD video already consumes a total of 400 - 600MB for both the output file and project storage for further editing. This makes it difficult for 128GB iPhone models to meet these demands, and 1TB would be the most sensible choice.

No Additional Cost for Monthly iCloud Storage

Currently, Apple has reduced the default iCloud storage to 5GB per Apple ID account. This is too little to store important content, photos, and videos. Therefore, facing storage scarcity on iPhones with 128GB, 256GB,... is inevitable if users don't know how to optimize storage. In another magical bloodsucking way, Apple still allows users to purchase iCloud storage on iPhones to 'dissipate' the worry of running out of space.

The price of iCloud storage will fluctuate from 19,000 - 199,000 VND per month for storage packages ranging from 50 - 2TB. Surely you will have to spend this amount if you don't want to delete memories from photos and videos on a standard iPhone storage. Investing an initial amount of money to own the iPhone 14 Pro 1TB will help you save the amount you would lose every month.

After experiencing Apple's iPhone 14 Pro 1TB, many have spoken up, affirming that as long as Apple continues to sell the 1TB iPhone model, they will not hesitate to buy it. They also hope that one day Apple will upgrade to 2TB. It's fantastic to never have to worry about running out of storage.

So at the current time, 1TB iPhone storage isn't necessarily too much and 'never' gets used up. That's why the selling price and 1TB storage on the iPhone 14 aren't as excessive as you might think.
