32 gigabytes will be enough to store music on, but keep in mind that the iPhone can do a lot more. If you for example intend to film all videos in 4k, 32gb may not be enough for you. Also downloading movies for offline watching takes up a lot of space. But each to their own. That’s because Spotify is limiting you to only about a third of them on one device for up to three devices. Officially, you are only allowed to download 3,333 tracks per device, for a grand total 9,999 tracks in three different devices – one shy of that magical 10,000.
Spotify has a range of audio quality options to suit your device, plan, and preferences.
