Google is openly attacking one of its biggest competitors in a new ad for its Google Photos service. It shows that its service can easily solve the problem of insufficient storage in iPhones.
The point of the ad is simple: people try to capture an interesting moment, but every time they press the shutter button, a message appears on the display that the storage is full and there is no room for more photos on their phone. At the same time, the message is exactly what the iPhone "throws away".
With this, Google is clearly targeting all owners of 16GB iPhones, in which it is sometimes quite difficult to fit all the content in these days. Therefore, Google presents its Photos service as an answer, which can automatically upload all photos and videos to the cloud, thanks to which you still have free space on your iPhone.
Apple's iCloud can do the same, but has the higher storage that's usually required for an extra fee, while Google provides unlimited space for high-resolution photos (up to 16 megapixels) and 1080p videos for free.
The lowest capacity of iPhones - 16 GB - has been regularly criticized for several years, so Google is now trying to take advantage of this. Therefore, it will be very interesting to see if Apple will change this unpleasant fact this year and present at least 7 gigabytes as the lowest available capacity in the iPhone 32, which is speculated about.

I do not know. I started once on an iP with 8GB of memory, then replaced a few more iPs and all with 16GB. And I'm still with the sixteen. iCloud Photo Library turned on and I still have almost 7GB of space left on my phone. So I don't really agree that 16GB is insufficient for today. But it's true that I don't have another 30 apps on my phone that I don't use :)
I more or less agree. From experience, I would say that cheaper Android phones with insufficient internal memory capacity tend to have a problem with space. Not everything can be moved to a memory card, and when you've got loads of pre-installed ballast running updates, you'll quickly run into a space problem. This ad from Google is not very accurate. An ordinary operator can get by with a 16GB iPhone. If someone is more demanding, there are also versions with a higher capacity or the aforementioned iCloud for a few crowns.
The capacity would be sufficient. Unfortunately, I meet many people who refuse to have data on the cloud and want to always have it stored in the device's memory, either due to ignorance of this option, mistrust or lack of fup. Since many of these people are not technically knowledgeable about how many GB are, they then have problems with capacity..
Or I don't want big brother to have an overview of their photos and data. In short, it's their choice and it's the only and only stupidity of Apple to offer only 16GB as the basic version.
Why stupidity? People buy it, so sell it ;-). I need 64 GB, which is already enough for the medium version today, so it is much more important for me that 32 has become 64 ;-).
I don't think it's stupidity in terms of memory, which is currently enough for users, but rather a limitation of Apple for itself in the field of iOS development. Keep in mind that for at least another 5-6 years he will have to take into account an IP with 16 GB and ensure enough free space for data on these devices.
I don't mind, there will still be people who will just call from it and once a year they will read a book for a few MB. Alternatively, they surf the web. This phone with 16 (by the way, I mean 13GB if we subtract the system) is just enough for that. Alternatively, they will have everything in the cloud ;-). So why not give it to them. In addition, at least Apple will not increase the size of the OS in the mobile phone and we will not have to worry that something will be scratched and something extra ;-).
Well, systems and technology are always developing, which takes up more space :) if we look at ios 8, already at that time there were a lot of people with 8GB iPhones, it was difficult because the system was too big, I'm afraid that something similar will happen...
I don't mind zooming in, sometimes the other way around, it's necessary because of nice graphics. Anyway, it's good to keep an eye on it and reduce it as much as possible and not put all the crap into the OS unnecessarily.
What are you talking about here?
The price remained the same as before, each jump of a few GB was €100 more.
16->32€
32->64€
64->128€
Now you only have the option of:
16->64€
So I don't know where you were taught to count. I always used the 32GB version and it really annoyed me when they canceled it and I had to pay an additional €100 just because 16 is not enough.
It's not that simple, quite a significant increase in price (20% was lost when the dollar to euro exchange rate changed). At that time, the price of telephones increased by 5000, including the ones they were already selling (iP6 at the time).
Maybe for CZK, but it's easy for €!
They have always had prices 100€/$ higher for larger GBs. There was a jump of 200. I know what I'm talking about. I had iP already 8,16,32 and now 64 and it was always like that.
I don't know how it is in your Slovakian brother, but here it is like this (if we are both talking about 6s).
Capacity / price / + surcharge in Euros
16 GB / 21 CZK
64 GB / 24 CZK / +390,00 Euro
128 GB / 27 CZK / +590,00 Euro
The current CZ exchange rate against the Euro is about 27 crowns today.
No matter, yes, those phones are very expensive, and for my taste, what bothers me the most is that they can no longer withstand what they drive. iPad 1 withstood everything and in about 2,5 years there was only one scratch on it! There are already scratches everywhere on the iPad Air 2 and I'm not dragging it anywhere (I'm mainly talking about the display, it's just really unsustainable and I'm comparing it to the iPad 1!, the iPad 2 also held up just fine).
The 32GB version was the best value of all because it held the highest residual value, so it also sold the best. Used 32GB iPhones and iPads used to be in the highest demand.
I probably didn't understand your post. Of course, there are people who have a lot of content, but they probably won't buy the basic 16GB version. Check out the iPhone sales statistics. A relatively large number of devices sold are actually based on 16GB. Does this mean that Apple is stupid, because it sells what is obviously of interest? The fact that the basic version is not enough for individuals does not mean that it is not enough for other people. Don't forget the corporate sphere either. If we are talking about large companies where hundreds of phones are purchased, most of them will be 16GB versions. On the one hand, because of the price, and on the other hand, because it's a business phone and no one cares if you want to record 40GB of music there. And then the question of Big Brother is mentioned (in my opinion, to a certain extent justified). In short, someone does not like the idea that they are being watched, even if the illusion of privacy in the digital world is quite debatable. Have you ever tried working with google analytics? You might be surprised at what you can watch on your phone.
Apple is certainly not stupid when it can sell the SE 16GB model with a production value including assembly of $130 for several times the 6S, the same applies...
To the objection to the cloud, I responded more to the possibility of iCloud or the possibility of streaming music. But of course with cloud services this concern is valid. It is then only a matter of considering the given user whether he really has such sensitive data that no one should be allowed to see it, or whether he is really so important that someone would search directly for whose data among the millions of tb data.
I wouldn't call it stupid. Their plan to cancel the 32GB version was all about $$$
Make people pay €200 more for 64GB
So not stupidity, but a desire to get even more $ out of people
Or someone has a lot of games, programs, movies and music ;-).
In that case, it's his fault that he didn't buy a variant with a higher storage space.. Probably like if I wanted to edit on a macbook and bought a 128gb variant :)
Well, 64GB is enough for me ;-). It's just that everyone has different habits and options, so it's perfectly possible to pay anything ;-). Even the 128GB can be paid for.
I can also get by with 64GB on my phone, but on a computer if I'm editing something more demanding, I have a problem fitting into one tb?
Even the cheapest $100 Android phones have 16GB of memory :-)

Unfortunately, it's the worst system I've ever had :-) Never again! "Trhanoid" is what we call him around here...
Android doesn't crack today, not even the cheapest ones. These are just excuses that sheep have to use to justify the money loaded into the AppStore on iOS, no other reason to stay with the iPhone can be rationally defended. Today, basic androids are so good that most people don't pay extra for more expensive devices, no wonder iPhone sales are plummeting all over the world.
So firstly) we are called iOves and secondly) is there no other reason to stay with the iPhone? How about, for example in my case, iMac-iPad-iPhone and their interconnected and mainly CLOSED ecosystem. I've been perfectly fine with it for about 8 years now, and I don't need to justify investing money in anything with . And Android crashes all the time. Unless they've improved it since last Friday ;-)
Well, I wouldn't brag about the closed iOS system, that's its biggest weakness, you just came on the wrong day, you pluck tonsils on Thursday and Friday is sanitary day. :-))
So that someone doesn't get bogged down in Android's functionality. Maybe it would be bad for Google :-)
Today, Android is a better optimized and far more user-friendly system than iOS, not to mention that iOS will not catch up in terms of features even in a few years.
Are you serious or are we playing a game of "The funniest one wins..." ?
Android physically needs more CPU to run smoothly. Google doesn't know about optimization.
"Google doesn't know optimization." Stupid climb?
It was in optimization that Google improved with the transition from Kitekat to Lollipop, the change of runtime from dalvik to art increased the speed of all devices with one update... iPhone can only look at them sadly from afar.
"Android physically needs more CPU to be as smooth as it gets."
This is of course complete nonsense :) Android runs smoothly even on a single core SoC like the old Xperia Arc S.
SoC design has nothing to do with fluidity, that's a software thing.
BTW Apple A9 used in iPhone 6S has 2CPU cores 6GPU cores, A9X in iPad Pro has 12GPU cores, altogether it is a fourteen core SoC.
I had an Xperia Arc S years ago and I can assure you that nothing ever ran smoothly on it.
I had the aforementioned Xiaomi for the weekend and I can assure you that it is not smooth. Just another Chinese android. Other than that, it lasted 2 months of use. Then it went into the sorted waste.
I still have the Xperia Arc S in my drawer to this day, it's absolutely smooth and still as fast as it was out of the box, so there are only two options, either you're lying or the other is that you're lying.
Have a nice day. :)
OK. Film it as it flows. Launch Hangouts, Maps and the browser and switch between them. Arc S also cuts when alternating surfaces.
My Arc S has never cut and it still doesn't cut today :) shoot how it cuts for you trolls. :)
Even the old Ascend G510, which was backed up, runs faster than the iPhone 4S.
You can use a restarted Android from the drawer with a few, or better yet, any apps, then it will probably be smooth. I resisted the overpriced iP for a long time, but the Droid really won me over. Surprisingly, even a crowded iP still works smoothly, great. But the Samsung A series is not bad either.
You see, I still have the same portfolio of 70 apps that I've been using since the beginning. :)
It happens that when you put something in a drawer, it's like "restartable", but the Arc S never needed restarts, because it never crashed or lagged.
I think that Apple is not even up to Google's ankles in this regard. He still has a lot of catching up to do on this front. It has some flaws that are incomprehensible to me. For example, if you've been using an iPhone for years like me, you have thousands of photos. But why do I have to have them all on my phone? Either full or previews? And another thing about sharing, oh god if I create an Album and want to share it, I have to create it again!!. That's completely off the top of my head. And lastly... If several people use an iPhone and you want to share photos from a joint trip, then in a few days you won't know which iPhone is which photo and if they are all there, and you will also find out that I am not backing up. So the trip together is divided into several apple devices where I back up parts by part, just a mess.
Exactly. Apple generally has a lot to catch up on in services and not only in them... It is currently stagnating in all fields. The main thing is that every quarter we will see new straps at AW
It's funny that Google advertises it. 80% of Android phones are broken, because there is not enough space even to update pre-installed applications. Their only phone that you make has 16 GB and 32 GB (don't have 64 and 128), so ha ha :-). Otherwise, it's great that they can back up through their other supersimulation applications, and you can also tell me the quality of the photos, because the original photo/video will not be kept. Then they will still pretend that their phone takes pictures of the lime tree, because the downloaded photos will be stupidly converted by them :-D. Really thanks :-).
Most phones have a slot for memory cards, so you can survive with a 16GB basic capacity if you store media, data, photos and map materials on the card).
and Nexus 6P, which is directly from Google, is also offered in 64GB and 128GB variants, so chacha fool.
First, I'm talking about phones, not paddles.
And secondly, the memory card is for 2 things. It's slow and what's worse, you can't record everything on it. So, as soon as you have 16GB in your mobile phone, where you have 7GB free with a Samsung phone, you have a card for 2 things.
So please don't drag me into the family ;-).
For example, the Xiaomi Mi4 16GB has 12GB of free space, just like the iPhone or iPad in the basic version, the only difference is that the Mi4 has a significantly better display and a slightly weaker SoC than the iPhone6S and is sold for $180, while the significantly worse hardware iPhone 6S offers for $709.
Samsung is good, the stuck TouchWiz is a long way from Android, but as far as I know, the S7 is sold in a 32GB version, there will certainly be far more space left than in the basic version of the iPhone.
A memory card, even if I don't have a slot in my phone, is definitely an advantage, you can move all media files, even complete apps with root.
I don't know what Google wrote, but I always thought 8GB was enough for me, for a long time 16GB was enough for me, but since I have an iPhone 5SE, 16 is simply not enough for me and I have to delete, photos get bigger, videos get bigger, spotify takes up a lot and I'm at zero, now I'm stuck that I didn't pay for ua vetsi
Since the SE has a 12MP camera, one photo is around 2MB on average (and Samsung or Sony have 5MB photos, but it doesn't matter because you can expand the capacity cheaply with a microSDXC).
Hmm, one photo averages 2MB, where do you get that man? Multiply that nonsense by 4 and you'll be close to reality. :)
In the 6S, I have most photos around 2MB at 12MPix... Samsungs and Sonys, with exceptions, have most photos around 5MB... yes, it varies depending on the scene. Now I'm looking in the folder with photos from the 6S and most are 1.7MB to 2.6MB, none of my photos are more than 3.5MB, this is the biggest one, I only found one... iPhone has a higher compression rate than DSLR, there's nothing more to it.
I don't know what your resolution or compression settings are, I have an SE and a 6S, photos are on average around 5-8MB, the exception is not even over 11MB, a little over 2 is really quite exceptional.
that's right, an HDR photo has even more, I also really like taking panoramas, and there we are somewhere else entirely. in short, 16GB is simply not enough...
This would explain why I have a smaller data volume, HDR is permanently disabled on all devices. I turn it on exceptionally in low-light conditions, when it is not suitable to set higher ISO values, a good result can be achieved with HDR, otherwise it is a useless function for me on a mobile phone, which I use mainly for snapshots.
There is no iPhone 5SE
yes sure, for iPhone SE nitpickers…
Please, I have a question, on iOS, photos keep forcing me to go to library optimization even though I have 15GB of free space available on 128GB devices. I do not get it.
Jiří brož, go to Settings-Icloud-Photos. There you have the option "optimize storage" and it is explained below.
Of course, I understand that and I understand the principle, the point is that the device complains even though there is a lot of free space in it.
Hmmm, so if I'm abroad and I'm capturing the best moments and I don't have data enabled on roaming, will Google Photos save me? Bomb, I have to have that service even if I don't have the 16GB version :-)
