Note to the MR team: please continue to use tables when comparing different devices, it’s much easier to see the similarities and differences. Bullet point lists are awful for comparisons

The 2TB option would be such an ideal iPhone for me. I cannot rely on a 1TB iPhone anymore. I'm afraid I will be running out of space next year.

Apple also needs to increase iCloud storage next month.
