If you got a 16-gigabyte iPhone, chances are that you will start having storage issues a year into getting the phone. That is speaking generously if you have to download the best apps for social media and work.
When you download apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, maybe a little bit of Facebook and Spotify, you are joking with storage space. These things become a luxury when you start to take selfies and make videos on your device.
The iPhone automatically gives you a free backup iCloud storage of 5GB upon purchase. This is usually a good option for a few months. This is until you start to have more thing to back up, from photos to videos and apps.
However, Apple provides plans to solve the storage problem. iPhone users can upgrade from their iPhone Settings app.

The 50-gigabyte plan costs ₦360 monthly and can be used to backup multiple gadgets by the same owner. It really is a reasonable deal. Furthermore, Apple makes it easy to downgrade back to the free 5 GB plan anytime.
