What's wrong with Apple's mobile phone storage space and icloud space?

Mobile phone storage space hardware, on the mobile phone, is used to store data such as software files.

icloud space is a cloud disk and a network service. Each account will be attached with 5g storage space, which is mainly convenient for users to enjoy in the cloud, data backup and storage optimization. But unlike mobile phone storage, icloud is stored on the network and does not occupy the actual storage space of the mobile phone.

storage space of the device:

When you buy an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, the device comes with a certain amount of storage space, with specific capacities ranging from iPhone-16 GB to 512 GB；; IPad-16 GB to 1 TB；; IPod touch-8 GB to 256 GB.

the music you buy, the downloaded apps, the photos you take, and all the other content you enjoy on the device will occupy the storage space of the device.

depending on the capacity of your device and how much content you have, your device may fill up and run out of storage space. When the device is full, you can't increase its storage space, but you can free up space.

iCloud storage space:

when you set up iCloud, you will automatically get 5 GB of free storage space. You can use these storage spaces to back up your devices, and all your photos, videos, documents and text messages can be safely stored and updated to all your devices. Depending on the backup size and content saved in iCloud, you may run out of storage space.

if you buy more iCloud storage space or delete some content, you can make room.

Conversion of related storage units and commonly used units:

Introduction to unit conversion

With the increase of storage information, there are now larger units to represent storage capacity units, which are higher than gigabytes (GB, gigabyte): < Terabyte), PB(Petabyte), EB(Exabyte), ZB(Zettabyte) and YB(yottabyte), etc., where 1PB=124TB, 1EB=124PB, 1ZB=124EB and 1YB=124ZB. So, how big is the capacity of these units?

look at the expression: Kilobyte(KB)=124B is equivalent to the content of a short story.

Megabyte(MB)=l24KB is equivalent to the text of a short story.

Gigabyte(GB)=124MB is equivalent to the score of Beethoven's symphony in the fifth movement.

Terabyte(TB)=124GB is equivalent to all the X-ray information in a large hospital.

Petabyte(PB)=l24TB is equivalent to 5% of the information content of academic research libraries in the United States.

Exabyte (EB)=124PB； 5EB is equivalent to the words spoken by human beings all over the world so far.

Zettabyte(ZB)=124EB, just like the total amount of sand on beaches all over the world.

Yottabyte(YB)=124ZB, which is equivalent to the sum of microcells in 7 people.

storage capacity of common unit

refers to the maximum amount of data that the portable storage product can store, which is the most critical parameter of the portable storage product.

the capacity of general portable storage is 16MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB,

of which 16MB, 32MB and 128MB.

8GB~128GB products are the mainstream in the market, and the price is within the acceptable range of ordinary users, which is also the capacity type with the most product types introduced by manufacturers; 256 GB ~ 512 GB products, because of their high prices, have fewer user groups and fewer types of products.
