I guess you don't get many pictures or constantly offloads them. sure 16gb model is fine for standard usage plus maybe a handful apps, but hd videos eat lot of space.
OK, sure. I'd count that as local caching---ie still offload as soon as possible, but keep the local copy for as long as you have space. Though aren't connections in the developed world fast enough that you can just download/stream them on-demand?
(For lots of pictures and videos, you can keep a lower quality version on the device as a compromise---but not sure whether Google Photos or Apple does that by default?)

The problem isn't so much the speed but the caps, if you're not on Wifi. I don't know anyone who has more than 5GB/month, and HD video will eat that in less than an hour.
I'm on a nominally unlimited pay-as-you-go plan in the UK for about 25 GBP a month. I regularly do 20+ GB over 4g a month.
The UK isn't ahead of the rest of the world here, is it? (Google paid for my mobile data in the last few years before that, so I am out on the loop on general prices.)
