I've got a 256 GB XR and have around 80 GB available space. Individual 
circumstances and needs aside, the counterargument would be that for an extra 
$100, you'd be doubling your storage space. 
I will say, face ID's never won me over since half the time, I still have to 
punch in my code anyway and especially now with face masks likely being the 
norm for a good long while when out and about, it's not like unlocking the 
phone's going to be any easier with just one's mug. Even though I'm a big guy, 
I still don't like handling my XR with just one hand. I am tempted to swap it 
out for this new SE.

I totally agree with Andy. I think that for most blind people, 256 is not 
necessary. If you’re not downloading lots of videos and movies, you just don’t 
need that much space. I have a lot of books on my phone. Audible books. Bard 
books. Chirpbooks. All of them audio, plus a whole bunch of bookshare books, 
all in print of course. I also have a lot of apps. My phone is 128 GB, and I 
still have somewhere around 45 left. I can’t conceive of wanting to spend the 
extra money to get 256 GB. To each their own, of course. But a lot of times, 
you just waste your money on all that extra that you really don’t need or won’t 
use.
