Remember the last rule above all. HAVE FUN.

To answer your question, the more storage you can afford, the better. Most people seem to settle on 32Gb, but if you can afford 64, so much the better. You can get by with 16, but it involves a lot of juggling, in my experience.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

If your goal is too load a lot of apps I would suggest going the highest possible storage unit. A 64G would be ideal if budget is not a problem.
