How much GBs used to run iPhone 5?

I'm trying to decide if to buy 16G or 32G iPhone 5.  My 16G 3Gs seems to use 3GB to run.
Does anyone know approx. how many GBs the iPhone5 needs to run?
Thank you!!!

It's the OS, not the phone that take up memory. And iOS 6 should take up less than 3 gigs. Remember, they way they calculate the storage, it's actually less than what is reported. Apple, and most other companies use 1,000 Megs = 1 Gig.  My iPhone 4 with "32 gigs" of memory has an actual capacity of 28.5 gigs.
Now, If you are running out of storage on your 3GS, I would defintely up it to 32 Gigs. However, If you have more than enough room left of the 3GS, then you should still be fine with 16 gigs. 
It all depends on your usage, and what you think you will need.  The system isn't going to triple in size, or anything like that.
That being said, many of the updates to apps are also getting bigger. You really need to look at your current usage. If you're at 3-6 gigs of free space left, you may definitely want to look into the larger model. If you have half of your space free, or more, then stay where you are.

    You can only return the machine if you're within 14 days of purchase - otherwise you're just 'stuck' with what you purchased (unless you sell it, of course).
    I always recommend that Retina owners order 16GB of RAM as the RAM is not upgradable - it's soldered onto the logic board.
    Your call - if you're with 14 days of purchase, take it back and exchange for a 16GB model. Or sell it and buy a model with 16GB. The higher amount of memory will allow you to run far more memory-hungry apps concurrently.
    Good luck,

  • Twitter App - how much to use

    Hi
    Sorry, new to BB and to smartphones..
    The twitter app is shown as free to download, but what is the running cost of using it?  What charges are imposed.  Similarly with the music apps, free to download but how much to use?

    Data in BlackBerry terms is the flow of electronic information to and from your device, over the network.
    Anyway, so now you know. Twitter uses data. BBM uses data. GPS navigation mapping applications use data to flow the maps to your handheld.
    However, SMS is not "data", it is part of the "voice" pipe.
    Consider your BlackBerry having TWO inlets for information.
    The voice "pipe" channel contains the voice and SMS
    The data "pipe" channel contains all over flow of information: email, twitter, BBM, mapping, internet browser, etc.

  • How much cold temperature can an iphone 5 endure?

    I am just curious how much cold temperature can an iphone 5 endure? here in my town, 4'c is normal in daytime and 0'c at night and dampness present in my room all the time which cause my cell phone display black and unresponsive.

    Cold will make a lithium ion battery drain more quickly than normal and can cause the phone to shut down. However, I doubt it's zero degrees in your room at night. If it is, you have bigger issues to worry about than your phone. Unless your phone is a tropical rainforest or has a constantly running hot shower or is a sauna, it seems unlikely that it could be damp enough to cause an issue. You may have a larger hardware issue. Consider getting the phone checked out by Apple.
    I'm not sure I'd want to live in a town that only got 4 degrees warmer in the day than at night in the winter. Brrrrr.......

  • How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

    Last June, I bought an Iphone in France with Bouygues operator. As I have to leave for Thailand, I ask them to unlock my Iphone, I had to paid 70 euros for it. They asked me to wait about 1 week. I am now in Thailand. Yesterday, I plugged the Iphone to Itunes and I guess the unlock was done as my Iphone was updated. I bought a new SIM card from a thai company... and it doesn't work.
    I went to ask to some shop and they said that my version is 3.1.2 and in Thailand it's only 3.0...Is that the reason I can't get a thai SIM card? What should I do? How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

    Siri only works on the iPhone 4S or iPhone 5. If you have one of those devices, turn it on in Settings > General > Siri.

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.
