LOL.

More likely the phenomenon of people of a certain gender having a different language. She was saying all along that she wants you to get her the latest iPhone just like xxx has. You just didn't understand her language.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Forgot to mention that she doesn't even know why she wanted an iPhone, nor does she particularly like it, but it's probably too soon to let out that secret.

Also, don't forget that no matter how much phone storage you'll get her, it will get full. The advantage of the iPhone is that it will automatically move photos to the cloud for storage (assuming you have that set up and are paying at least $0.99/month for that storage). It seems like the Pixel has something about unlimited Google Photos, does it help manage phone space?

you could set up from any phone to save your pic's to google photos automatically but you need to delete the pic's from the phone manually

Google Photos has an archive feature which helps you delete photos from your phone once they're up in the cloud. While clean-up for regular photos is manual, it does a decent job of archiving photos that aren't of people - i.e. the pictures of food items I text DW asking -' you mean this one?'  while I am in the supermarket.

It also has a 'spouse/partner' feature that let's you automatically share photos of your kids with your spouse.

My wife still has a 16gb iPhone.
Because of Google photos there is no issue of full storage. She doesn't use many apps so that helps too.

She doesn't use WhatsApp. But that could also get backed up if needed
