Apps, photos and especially 4K video fill storage quickly, and it cannot be upgraded later on phones without a memory-card slot. For most buyers 128GB is the practical minimum, and 256GB is the safer choice for heavy camera use or keeping a phone for four years or more.
On our spec score, the leading models here are Apple iPhone 17 Pro (6.9/10), Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (6.9/10), Apple iPhone 17 (6.7/10).
