So here comes the question that is 32GB enough for iPhone 7? The answer is very simple, if you don’t like shooting videos and taking pictures and you are okay with fewer apps, some songs and only selected pictures on your phone then 32GB is enough for you while if you love to shoot videos in 4K resolution and you also take a lot of pictures then 256GB iPhone should be your first choice.
Media
iTunes allows you to watch and download movies in different resolutions. Whereas there are so many streaming services like YouTube, Apple Music, Amazon, HBO, Netflix and much more from where you can download and watch the media files.

A simple movie can take 1GB to 3GB space whereas a high-quality high definition video can take 3GB to 6GB space easily. Different TV shows can take 500MB to 1.5GB space in normal quality but there are different episodes for TV shows so it can take about 5 to 10 times more space on your iPhone 7.
Now if you have to decide between 32GB, 128GB and 256GB then you have to see how you use this media. If you can watch a movie in a single sitting then you don’t need to download the movie and 32GB will work fine for you.

Apps and Games
