Buying new phone what size shoul i get

buying new phone what size shoul i get

It depends a lot on how you use the device.
Emails and web pages are small with little impact. Music is more average sized files but people can have hundreds of them. Movies and videos are your largest files. I use the smallest size because you can always save info and content to the computer. Syncing allows you to move content from the computer to device whenever you'd like. I rotate 7 gb of music onto my ipod then put a different 7 gb every couple weeks. I never have to listen to a song twice. If you don't have a computer, travel a lot, or store a lot of large files, like films to watch, you would definitely need something larger to get by.

  • MacBook Pro/iPhone 4S user looking to buy NEW iPad - what size?

    I know, I know....this get's asked a zillion times, and many of the answers are the same - "Depends on what you want to do", etc.  However, none of what I searched seem to answer MY question, so here goes:
    I am looking to buy a new iPad before the end of this week for business purposes mainly.  Particularly so I don't have to travel with my MacBook Pro.  I also currently have an iPhone 4S.  It's a 32GB model and has a little over 10GB of free space.  I have an extensive photo (11,000 pictures) and good size music collection (40GB) as well, but as you can tell by the phone usage, I'm not one to carry everything with me.  Now, here's where I haven't found an answer to my questions.....since I use iCloud for photos and music (with iTunes Match) as well as starting to use it (along with Dropbox and Evernote) for documents, why would I want anything more than a 16GB (or possibly 32GB) iPad?  This leads to another question, would I be wiser to buy the 64GB iPad, then when upgrading to the new iPhone (5 or new or whatever they will call it), get a smaller capacity version of that?  I'm only looking for a wi-fi iPad, as I can use my iPhone as a personal hotspot.
    Thanks very much for any input.

    As you have suggested yourself, there really isn't a correct answer to the question other than "what would serve your needs".
    If you are using cloud services, and iTunes match, you could very well get by with a 16gb. However, you might want to consider how much time you might spend when getting online would be difficult (in the air traveling for example), and what you would want available during those times. My original iPad was a 16GB, and it served me well, but I did opt for 32GB when I upgraded to the New iPad. I don't regret the decision since it gives me more flexibility. BTW, I do use cloud services, including iTunes Match (currently just shy of 17,000 tracks loaded), extensively.

    You purchased a gray market phone. The iPhone is not available for sale from any Authorized source in Ukraine. There are no authorized or supported carriers in Ukraine.
    Take it ack and get your money back.
    If you want an iPhone, go to a country where unlocked iPhones are available for legitimate sale and purchase one directly from Apple.

    The issue is that he doesn't know if he will use the memory or not.  To be sure, he should go BIG!  The differences in cost between the small and large versions are not that much anyway.

    Transfer your purchases from old iPhone to computer iTunes, then select tones in iTunes with your new iPhone connected, do a sync.

  • Can i set my iPhone 4 as a new phone then use iCloud to get information from before restoring the phone?

    Can i set my iPhone 4 as a new phone then use iCloud to get information from before restoring the phone? I've restored my iPhone 4 thru iTunes and now trying to set it up using iCloud but it says 'no back ups available'.
    I was upgrading my OS system thru iTunes but the plug on my macbook came out and battery ran flat half way thru. This jammed my iPhone 4.
    I think it's to do with the OS system. That if i take it to the previous OS system it might work. But since i'm in phone set up mode i can't get into general setting to change it back.
    So can i set it up as a new phone and then use icloud to restore info? Or shld i set it up thru iTunes and then iCloud (but since it jammed half way thru upgrading and i've restored i don't think iTunes has any of my previous info)? Or is there something else i can do?

    No. You can set up as a new device or restore from iCloud or iTunes. It looks like you backed up with iTunes, so you can't restore with iCloud. To backup your device in iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and activate it

  • Buying New Phone but Contract  can't yet what are my options???

    Okay I dropped my phone in some water and had to find a replacement it is a razor but being it was given to me there are issues with it... The phone changes settings on its own and I can't access VM called Verizon and they can't help with changing it and the one that is in the phone is unknown. Talke with Verizon and then Tech Support and they did nothing and said they have no way to know what it is did a master reset and so on.
    So here is my question being the contract the phone is under does not allow new phones till December and I can't extend the contract being it is a business phone what are my options? From what I learned buying just a phone from Verizon is a costly one, and if you buy one from an online source the two I got where prepay only and not able to be used on an existing contract.
    If I take my replacement used phone to a Verizon Store can they get the Pin number out of? I know they are there to sell you a new phone and want you to extend your contract . The cost of a "NEW" Phone is in the hundereds of dollars when you get it for next to nothing when you sign a contract.
    Is there any good place I can get a "New Phone and reactivate it as a replacement and know what the pins are being the one I have now though used Verizon can't not hop[ena dn since it turns off the ringer now and then I miss calls and get vms I can get.
    Any suggestions or just go and buy a new phone whatever the best cost is and be done with this???
    ANy information on what I can do seems that Verzion can only help so far via the phone and going to a store from what I have experienced and heard is requiring an contract extension and then you get a new phone for a better price. Which again I can not do.
    Just looking for some good information on wat the options are???
    MikeMich

    Thanks, Looks like I am stuck with the current phone even though no one at Verizon can assist me in getting the pin for the vm feature. As for ebay I contacted 2 sellers that stated their phones were good to be used on Contract the first one I got I called attempted to activate it and they told me it could only be used as a "PrePaid" Phone. I had to return it and the seller want me to end the transaction as if his listing was valid even though it stated could be used on a existing contract. Being he was also in Michigan I got it within a few days but then had to return it. Seems many list their phones like this but when you contact them and ask they kind of side step it and the auction ends. This seller had good feedback maybe because some don't leave any because of the same issue. I looked at whast the phones are listed at an 300 + unless you sign an additional  2 years which I can't do being it is a company phone and paying twice is also not worth it using it as a prepaid phone for 6 months...
    Looks like they got you anyway so I will just have to continue getting vms and no access and hope the phone lasts until they can get new ones...
    Sad fact is there should be a better way to get a replacement phone. Since I don't know any Verizon Dealers when I had another carrier the guy was great he would do anything including rebuild a doa phone with parts he collected as people upgrade but at Verizon they just want you to "upgrade" and "extend" the contract Which I am not the admin person to make that decision
    Guess you have to know someone and I don't...
    Such is life these days...At least for me....

  • My iphone 5 has been accidentally put in washing machine iv dried it out but the screen has water behind the glass i don't know what to do replace the screen or buy new phone help

    my iphone 5 has been put in washing machine by accident and i have dried it out it works but there is water behind screen pleasehelp dont know what to do i can repair would it be best to buy new screen
    HELP!!!!

    It is likely that the device has unrepairable harm done to it having it washed in the washing machine. However, one thing that could be tried would be to have the device placed in a glad bag full of un-cooked rice and leave it there for 72 hours to see if this will absorb residual moisture showing up on the display glass. It could be assumed that if there is that much moisture showing it's unlikely attempting to draw out moisture will be sucessful.
    Good luck.

  • How do you determine what size tablet to get (storage wise)?

    I looking to get a table (either the IPad or the Asus Transformer Primer.  I'm thinking of using it mostly for travel and would like to use it for internet connections, email and downloading & watching movies & music.  How can I figure out how much storage (16gb, 32gb, or 64gb) I'm going to need?
    Thanks!

    I determined what size of tablet I got (storage wise) based on two things: 1) Price and 2) Whether or not I could easily expand the storage.
    For starters, you are going to get the most bang for your buck from the Prime. The 32GB Prime costs the same as a 16GB iPad. So right there you have twice the storage for the same price.
    If you happen to fill up the 32GB of internal storage (which is not that hard since you pan on loading the thing up with movies and music) you can simply get a 32GB micro sd card for 40$ and double your space (this is not even an option with the iPad). Also, you could add even more space via the SD card slot or the USB port on the keyboard dock.
    With the iPad, once you fill the thing up, you are done. From that point on you have to manually move music and movies off the device in order to add new stuff. I used to have to do this with my old iPod touch and it was quite a tedious and annoying thing to have to do. Of course I only had 8GB to work with back then.

  • Hey guys apple need to sort this issue people are buying new phones here and the sound not playing from there phones like alot of people are having the same problem apple are ignoring it. I went to an apple shop for them to want 150 pounds of me

    Hey guys apple need to sort this volume problem out soon like there is guys who have just bought new phones and it is happening to there's.i went to an apple shop for them to tell me I had to pay £150 to get it replaced I don't want a replacement so clearly they know what the problem is apple need to review this site and act fast before they loose alot of customers.

    If you just purchased your iPhone, it will still be under warranty and Apple will replace it at no charge assuming that there hasn't been any damage due to abuse. So anyone with a new iPhone will be taken care of. If your iPhone is out of warranty and it has a hardware problem, then you have to pay the replacement charge regardless of what the problem is. Apple does not repair individual iPhones, they replace them. If you want the iPhone repared rather than replaced, you'll need to send the iPhone to an independent repair shop.
    Since you don't say what "volume problem" you're referring to, though, we can't say whether or not this is indeed a hardware problem. Perhaps if you'll detail the problem and what steps you've taken to try and correct it, someone can offer advice.
    Regards.

  • Just bought a 5s to replace the 4s. My daughter in Bali Indonesia needs a new phone. How can I get the 4s unlocked so I can send it to her for her use over there ?

    Just bought a 5s to replace the 4s. My daughter lives in Bali, Indonesia. Needs a new phone and I would like to send it to her, rather than any other option. I was told it had to be unlocked to use internationally. What do I do, to make this possible. ?

    Contact the wireless provider to which the iPhone is locked to ask
    if they provide unlocking and if you qualify. Apple does not unlock
    iPhones; only wireless carriers can unlock iPhones locked to their
    respective networks.

  • HT1212 my phone screen is broken and I bought a new phone but I want to get everything off my old phone. It will not sync to i tunes because it has a passlock on it. Is there any way to get passed this?

    My iphone screen and lock button are broken, I bought a new phone and want to get all the information off my old phone. My old phone will not sync with itunes because it has a pass code on it. I have no way to enter the pass code. Is there any way to get around this so I can still retrieve my information from it?

    If you are using the computer that you normally sync with, it should sync without entering the passcode. However, if this is not the computer you normally sync with, you cannot get past the passcode, it has to be entered.

  • Syncing When I Buy New Phone

    I have always synced my contacts from Outlook using iTunes onto my iPhone 4s, but I have also added many contacts directly on my iPhone 4s. So I have a combination of Outlook contacts and other contacts I've added manually to the phone. When I get a new iPhone 5s, how do I get the contacts that I have added on my 4s onto the new 5s, but also keep syning my Outlook contacts? Are the contacts I added manually on my iPhone 4s stored on iTunes? Not sure how this works.
    Another question: when I get a new phone, will music data be retained in iTunes (number of plays, date last played, etc.) and be synced onto the new phone or will everything be reset to zero? I want to keep that data if possible.
    Thanks!

    As long as you backup your old device and restore the new device from the backup, everything should stay the same.

  • Buying New Phone At Apple Store

    I am going to be upgrading my iPhone 3 to the 4S.  If I go and buy my phone at the Apple Store, will they be able to get me all set up and up and running or will I still have to bring it to AT&T?  I am thinking I'll get more information on the phone and features at the Apple Store so that's why I am leaning towards going there to buy it over the AT&T Store.  Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks!

    Go to the Apple store, they will handle everything. You can transfer your info yourself, after they activate your phone. Just follow the directions here:
