Which storage capacity should you choose for your iPhone 14/Plus/Pro/Pro Max?

So, you've decided to buy an iPhone 14? There are now three key decisions you need to make.

And whilst we all know our favourite colour, deciding on how much storage you need requires a bit of careful thought. The price difference between storage capacities is not insignificant and you don't want to pay for storage that you simply don’t need. Having said that, the last thing you want is to find out you don’t have enough storage on your new or refurbished iPhone 14.
