Apple's new Live Photos feature will eat up your storage

Apple's Live Photos aims to add a fun twist to
your still photography, but could gobble up your
precious onboard storage very quickly. The new
feature, which works by automatically shooting
video with sound up to three seconds prior and
after a photo is taken, will take up twice as
much storage as a single photo consumes,
MacRumors reports.
. . It's logical that a photo that's sugar-coated in
full motion and sound would take up more room,
but it creates even more of a storage
conundrum for future iPhone 6S owners.
Especially those who are looking to nab the
16GB options. On the other hand, if you're
considering, or who have already pre-ordered,
the 32GB or 64GB flavors of the iPhone 6S or
iPhone 6S Plus, you'll be able to take tons of
Live Photos before you need to offload them
onto your Mac.
. . Thankfully, the on-by-default feature can be
turned off if you're hoping to get the most out of
your storage space. Stay tuned for our full
review of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus to
see more in-depth findings on the impact of Live
Photos on storage.
