Make room for what’s next.

Estimate additional storage with assumptions you can change. Decimal units: 1 GB = 1,000 MB.

What you plan to add

The photo and video sizes are illustrative inputs, not fixed iPhone file sizes. Check a representative file or your camera settings and replace them.

How the estimate works

Extra space = photos × average photo MB ÷ 1,000 + video minutes × video MB per minute ÷ 1,000 + other downloads. Headroom = capacity − current usage − extra space − your chosen reserve.

A positive result means the entered plan fits this arithmetic budget. It does not predict system caches, actual camera compression, iCloud optimization or the temporary space an update may need.
