That's not my entire collection. Not close to it. That is like a few months worth of photos and videos. When you have kids you fill that space up fast. I usually save those pictures to my laptop when the phone gets too full.
With all the apps and games I have 16 is just not enough to use the phone for photos and videos as well. I would have to save my photos ever month to make it work.
I never said it was your entire collection. I was referring to the collection of photos you've taken over the past 5 months that you mentioned in your post.
And I guess the bolded is what I really don't understand. You're suggesting it's a hassle to connect your phone on a monthly basis? I think my phone gets synced to my computer practically every day. I can't imagine waiting an entire month in-between, or how doing it more frequently that that would even be an issue. Can't you even sync over wi-fi these days? You wouldn't even have to plug the phone in. I hope you're at least backing up the phone to iCloud and not your computer so you don't risk losing all of those photos if you ever lose or break your phone.
Even in that extreme case of really infrequent syncs, you can always just get an app that stores them automatically for you (Dropbox, Loom, etc). Seems so much better than filling up your phone with thousands of photos in-between syncs and having to worry about space, even with the larger internal drive.
Obviously your call though - whatever habits make life easiest for you. Videos and games can definitely fill up a phone quickly, so if you take a bunch of long HD videos that's a different matter altogether, I get it. There are so many solutions to photos and music out there, though, that it perplexes me when people put huge collections on the internal drive.
