What's the best way to expand iPhone storage?
You've decided to go with the new iPhone, and chosen a color, but there's still one more thing to figure out: how much storage to go with.
After all, you don't want to see that "Storage almost full" message – as you do with your existing phone – but you're not sure if it pays to buy more memory from Apple up front or expand the storage later on should you need it.
Wait, what? There's a way to add more storage to an iPhone after you've purchased it? There's no microSD card slot, you say, unlike many of your Android-owning friends' phones.
Using an accessory
Another way to expand the memory of an iPhone is with the use of an external accessory, which either snaps into the bottom of the iPhone's lightning connector or works with a local wireless drive.
YiKaiEn's just-launched card reader, for example, is a small device for your keychain that lets you free up storage for more photos and videos on your iPhone or iPad. After the free companion app is installed on the iOS device, you can insert the card reader into the device's Lightning connector and tap to back-up your iPhone's photos and videos. You can back up your entire Camera Roll or only new photos or videos, or you can select a specific folder.
The other end of the card reader is a full-size USB connector, so you can plug it into a PC or Mac to copy over to a SSD (solid state drive), or upload to a cloud account.
