Black Friday iPhone deals: buying advice

Which models does TechRadar recommend?

What storage capacity should you choose?

Luckily, Apple now offers 256GB of storage as standard with all iPhone 17 models, but if you’re shopping deals on previous-generation models, I’d recommend that you pay a little more for 256GB of storage instead of 128GB.

Why? Because apps and photos are now larger than ever before, and they’re only set to get bigger. Specifically, as phone cameras have become more advanced, photos captured with them have got larger in size, and apps too have ballooned in size thanks to new features, higher-quality graphics, and more regular updates.

If you’re not someone who plans to take loads of photos and download loads of storage-hungry apps, then 128GB of storage may be an acceptable capacity for you. But for 90% of users, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
