   It's a great question, Arno, because internal memory (or storage) directly   
   affects how many apps, photos, videos, and in rare cases, system updates   
   your device can handle without slowing down or running into space issues.   
      
   For both Android and iOS, the number of apps you can install depends not   
   just on the total storage (like 64GB vs 256GB) but also on how much of that   
   is already taken up by the operating system and pre-installed apps.   
      
   All of the customer-focused Android OEMs give you storage flexibility with   
   expandable/portable storage (via microSD) while iPhones don't, so choosing   
   the right capacity up front is far more important on iOS and on Android   
   phones where the OEM is focused more on profit than on customer features.   
      
   The fact is you can *easily* store 1000 apps on 64GB of internal storage.   
   That's a fact that I can prove simply by pointing to my own phone, Arno.   
      
   That's important information.   
   It means, if you don't plan on adding more than that many apps, that you   
   don't need to pay the astoundingly huge expense for more internal storage.   
      
   That's a big deal, Arno.   
      
   I know you'll make an excuse by saying something like "money doesn't   
   matter", and while that may be true, for you, it may matter to others.   
      
   What's important isn't so much the money wasted for Google's or Apple's   
   profits, since you & the Apple trolls seem happy to feed those profits.   
      
   In summary, it's important to know how many apps you can easily fit on the   
   minimum storage just like it's important to know how many miles a   
   motorcycle can go on a single tank of gas.
