Iphone Se

Hi there,
Hoping to upgrade from my 8gb 5c to a SE but struggling to know what memory to go for. I'm maxed out on my 5c but not a huge app user. Wondering if 16gb will suffice? Wanting to keep costs down if possible but don't want to be in position where I run out again!

The problem you have with the SE is the choice of either 16 or 64gb.
32gb is ideal and apple know that 16 is too small, so they force customers into the much more expensive 64gb.
If it really is the SE you want, you'll have to go for the 64gb or keep your photos, videos and music to an absolute minimum stored on the phone.
If you do go for 16gb I'd make sure I had a good data plan or have access to wifi most of the time to access content you have stored on cloud services to save phone space.

Hi @Anonymous You have a choice between 16GB or 64GB so it's down to you and your usage.(which we don't know) Personally..if there is no massive difference between the price I would recommend the higher of those two.....although the 16GB may be enough for your needs.

Welcome to the forum by the way..Welcome

Bear in mind that with the 16GB model, you lose at least 4GB to the operating system so you are buying a 12GB phone in essence. If possible go for the 64GB version. Too much is way better than not enough.

Some advice here :

Also if you don't want 64GB but 32GB will suffice then look at the 6s
