    My photo/video library is 1.4tb but for most people (like my parents) 128 is plenty

        No, that’s what iCloud photos is for :) not sure why I’m being downvoted, it was my intention to say 128 is enough for most - including me.

          I’ll hazard a guess, because we are talking about physical storages on the phone and not cloud storage. In your case, 128 is not enough if you keep it in your phone.

            I don’t need to keep it on my phone. The thumbnail cache is only about 20gb

          As far as I can tell, the size is designed to make sure you buy iCloud space. Just another monthly charge for a company needing impossible infinite growth to keep investors happy.
