I just got a new I phone128g do I still need to buy the extra storage?

I would like you to realize and know one important thing and that is that there is NOTHING that you can do to increase the physical storage capacity of your iPhone. Your iPhone's storage capacity will forever remain the same as the day you bought it. 

You can purchase ➔ iCloud Storage from Apple where you create and save your iPhone backups and synch (Not Store) your Messages, Photos, Contacts, Calendars, Notes and Reminders. Note that iCloud Storage is NOT an extension of storage capacity of your iPhone. Just wanted you to know some facts.

Having said that, you can choose to Optimize Storage on your iPhone for all the Photos. What this action will do is store your original quality photos on iCloud and a small size photo on your iPhone. This takes up less space on your iPhone while maintaining the actual size on iCloud. This will free up space on your iPhone while making good use of iCloud. If you would like to try this then open Settings ➔Photos ➔ Optimize iPhone Storage : Ensure that this option is chosen and has a checkmark on it.

Based on the above information, only you can make the decision whether to subscribe to iCloud storage or not. This is based on the amount of space that you will use on your iPhone and whether you want your data backed up to iCloud or not.

Asking About Apple iCloud Storage Plan?:

If you are asking about having to purchase a new iCloud Storage Plan, after just purchasing a new iPhone, then the direct and is: No. Apple's iCloud Storage Plans stay as they are ---they do not go by device.

That is up to you. If you wish to downgrade, use the information in the Related Article you came to the forum with.
