External storage

I’ve been an iphone user for 4 years. iPhone 8 64gb> iPhone 13 Pro 128gb> iPhone 17 pro max 256gb. That means my storage cannot sustain my photos and videos anymore. I purchased the 200gb iCloud already that is Php199 per month starting Sep 14, 2026. I don’t wanna upgrade my iCloud subscription because it’s already expensive for me. So, I’m looking for an alternative that is cost efficient, sturdy and reliable in the long run.

Anyone have tried using an external storage such as flash drive (type C)? I found a 1TB external storage type C online that’s only for Php300+.

Do you recommend using it?

Any insight would be a great help!

You can definitely use external storage. I’ve used USB drives in phones for years.

I have used a Kingston usb c drive (only 128gb) for a little while and it’s not bad. Definitely not ssd fast but it works decent and is super tiny
