Man, so far I'm kinda thinking I wanna just get an iPhone 16 instead of the Pro lol.

IMO people use any excuse at all to upgrade their iPhones. Apple Intelligence is the ultimate excuse. 

The whole overhyping of Apple Intelligence gives me the Apple Watch Series 9 double tap pinching thing vibes. They made such a big deal about that feature, I got my Series 9 and whoop-de-doo it sucks lol. And then they took away an objectively more useful feature shortly after in the pulse oximeter sensor. I'm about due to upgrade iPhones, but I think I may also take the "downgrade" to the regular Pro model to absorb some of the inevitable price increase this go around.

Like Daalseth wrote, it is pretty annoying there’s nothing between 200 GB and 2 TB (I got the 200 GB package but would definitely be interested in 500 or close to that) If anyone has a great option to move please share. Thanks.

There actually is one way around that gap if you are subscribed to Apple One (Family or Individual Plan, doesn't matter),

That’s a non starter for me. I have no interest in the services in AppleOne, other than iCloud of course.

That's unfortunate.

There actually is one way around that gap if you are subscribed to Apple One (Family or Individual Plan, doesn't matter), you can adjust your plan itself based on storage of course BUT, you can also add-on iCloud storage for an additional charge. For example, my wife and I have been hovering in the 180-200GB range for a while and earlier this year it just wasn't cutting it. I was pleasantly surprised to learn I can pay the $0.99/mo additional to add the 50GB iCloud plan on top of our Apple One Family plan's 200GB for a total now of 250GB. This is fantastic as once that no longer covers us, I can just upgrade the add-on storage up to the $2.99/mo 200GB Plan for a total of 400GB. If I go any farther than that, pricewise it would then make sense to go all the way up to the 2TB plan on our Apple One plan.

Also, if you have Verizon wireless service, you can purchase Apple One, or several individual Apple services, either individual or family, under your Verizon bill at a discount. The discount is even higher if you have a military/first responder/etc account level discount as well! Our Family Apple One costs $20.00/mo (Usually $25.95 directly from Apple) and then there is a 12% military discount on top to make it $17.60/mo! So there's another money-saving tip for Verizon customers and I bet the other carriers offer something similar nowadays too!

I can't think of one reason why I would want to buy this.
