is 16 GB sufficient for basic usage in a iphone 5 s (email, internet, GPS, short videos, etc? ) What's the main advantage to have 64GB?

16 G works well for me. I think that if you are not a large video user you really don't need 64 G.

In case you didn't know, you can purchase more gb's through iCloud, for example 20gb for approx $1.06 per month, tax included. This is for your 16 gb iPad. So you still have options to add more gb's. I hope this helps...

Well, I figure that the current-gen 64GB Touch may probably last you at least through the next couple of years without any fear of obsolescence. I mean, the 32/64GB Touch has roughly the same hardware that the iPad has, iirc, or at least the same functionality, and that just came out last week or so, so...you're probably safe with the 64GB 3rd Gen, I have a hunch.

My Samsung Galaxy S3 has a total of 16GB. For the cellphone to run smoothly it takes up 3.8GB from 16GB. You still have plenty of memory and the SD card that holds up to 64G maximum. You will Love this cellphone.

This is very typical, there are pre-installed apps such as safari, calender, photos, camera, etc. already downloaded from Apple which takes up the 3.5 gigabytes you are missing. That is why I always buy the 64gb iPads, (I own 5), and only 59gb is available. I believe all tablets and smartphones are like this. It's not that you are being ripped off, your iPad actually does have 16gb, it's just that 3.5gb are already pre-installed apps. Another example would be a 32gb iPad or smartphone would only have approx 28 or 29gb available, so this is very typical, not anything to get concerned about, The manufacturers have to use some gigabytes for the pre-installed apps. I hope this answers your question.

Well, with a 16gb iPad you have about 14gb usable. It is surprisingly easy to fill that up. Movies and apps take up the most space. If you have a lot of music, books of pictures they will fill up fast. Movies are 1-2 GB each. Entertainment apps are often several hundred MB each. A couple albums will take up a GB of your space.

Well phones universally use micro sd cards, The problem is some phone have a limit as to how big the memory card the phone can use, the biggest being 64 gb. Most hold at least 32 gb, so 16 shouldn't be a problem.

Looking at Storage Sense on the phone, I see System takes 3.21 gb, temp files is 600mb. Between my apps, photos, music, and email, I'm using 10.6gb right now.

I've actually had both the 32 and 64. I originally went with the 32, found it was missing Office, returned it, and decided I liked it enough to trade up to a 64 since it wasn't a lot more expensive.To be honest, a 32 is probably fine for most normal office work. If you're planning on adding a ton of apps and games, that's what will make it a bit tight. You can add a 64-128 GB microSD and install everything on there instead, move all user folders to it, etc. which would also work.

Personally, I went with a 64 gb one... But to be more specific... It can handle all standard current MICRO sd card types...

I upgraded mine from ios7 to ios8 within the last couple of weeks. Just make sure you get at least the 16gb (preferably 32 or 65+ gb), as io8 was a HUGE file and lot of people could NOT upgrade, simply because they didn't have enough free hard drive space for the new operating system files.

So between the 16GB and 32GB, could you get by with a 16 for say 100 songs, 5 movies at a time, 3000 pictures and maybe 10 game apps?

I have the 32GB and OS takes up 6GB.Hope another person can answer you on the 16GB tablet.

I agree. Better stock up on the 16GBs than the 32GBs. I actually have 4 8GBs and a couple of 2GBs.

I too thought 5 GB was not very much. However, I've got about 30 books, 10 magazines, 50 pictures, 100 songs (all high quality MP3) and have TONS of room left. Plus you can add a 32 GB micro SD card, so don't worry too much about memory use. The 3 extra GB memory is for future updates.

After the apps, there would be only 4 GB, however you have the option of purchasing a sanSD card for little to no expenses at all (no more than 64 GB) to add a wider variety of memory.

The iPhone 4/4s could be had from 8-64. Most of the 4s's that you see are the 16gb, because that was the phone that was offered as the "free upgrade" through cellphone providers. If you spent the extra money, you could have gotten a 32 or a 64.
