[Solved] How do You Purchase More Storage on iPhone

For iOS users, iCloud can safely store your photos, files, contacts, mails, notes, passwords, and more on your device. All your data and information can be up to date across all your Apple devices through iCloud. You can enjoy 5 GB of free iCloud storage after setting up your iCloud account.

However, 5GB is not enough for most people, especially when they have more than one iOS device to back up. In that case, you may want to get more iCloud storage. This post will show you how to buy more storage on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Buy More Storage on iPhone

Part 1. Differences Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage

As we said, iCloud storage can be used to back up your device and update your photos, videos, messages, etc. among your devices. For a start, you can automatically gain 5GB of free storage. If you run that out, you can make room by adding more storage or deleting some of the current contents.

As for the device storage, it is physical storage on your device., which comes with a set storage capacity. For example, when you buy an iPhone, you can choose the storage capacity according to your need, from 16GB to 512GB. Your device storage can locally store the data on your device. And like iCloud storage, your device storage space can also be used up. But unlike iCloud storage, you cannot increase its storage. If you want to get more storage on your iPhone, you can only free up space.
