Loreal, I don't want to tell you what storage capacity you need, but I'm curious why you would feel you need a phone with 1 Tb of storage capacity?

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra I think that is ultimately what I’m going to do. Sure, I could wait and see what the new galaxy S 22 ultra will look like sometime next spring, but sadly I need a phone and I need one that works now. I have two kids presently in school and more often than not I’m having issues with the current device I am using just to get by until I can get a new phone. I’m missing more calls than not these days, and that just cannot happen. Not for business and certainly not for my kids schools. The more research I’m doing presently as I write this and the more information I am gathering just from people on this list, I’m really feeling that the iPhone 13 promax is going to be my best bet. I will probably wind up having to wait though because the capacity that I want of the device, either 512 GB or 1 TB, are both back ordered.
