I've been using my 64 GB 11 pro for six years and am just now running into storage problems. I take a lot of kid photos and occasional videos and use basic social media apps and stream music. I also use cloud storage. It seems like 256 GB should be more than enough for me, but I'm worried that, given that apps and data and photos all seem to require more storage, I won't be able to make this one last as long. On the flip side, I don't want to pay for something I don't need. Any thoughts on this? Am I way overthinking?
