Apple Watch Storage Details: 8GB Total Storage, 2GB Music and 75 MB Photos
Apple will be shipping Apple Watch with 8 GB of total storage capacity, according to reports.
However, 9to5Mac confirmed that as a user you are only allowed to use a subsection of that total space for certain types of data.
Apple Watch users will only be able to store up to 2 GB of music on the Watch and up to 75 MB of photos for the Photos app. The stored music can be listened independent of iPhone, via Bluetooth.
When paired with phone, users can listen to their entire music library from Apple Watch over Bluetooth. Users can select songs that will be synced through the Apple Watch companion app that ships with iOS 8.2.
Reportedly, Apple Watch will automatically resize images when imported which estimates to roughly 100 photos in the 75 MB of the allocated local storage.
"Obviously, this leaves around 6 GB of other space seemingly unaccounted for. It is likely that a few gigabytes of that remaining capacity will be taken up by the system's OS and internal apps leaving a decent chunk of space for miscellaneous data like settings and application caches, which help speed up the overall experience of using the device," 9to5Mac reported.
After the arrival of the native SDK, the remaining space will also be used to store application binaries and resources.
