Unless you want to store stuff on dropbox, icloud, etc. No extra card can be added to an iPhone to expand internal memory.

16gb (claimed; it is really more like 12) is very little storage these days. Larger file photos, videos, iTunes, etc.; 16gb is now all gone very quickly. I agree with your wife regarding the "5" size, and I do not like the larger phones either. So, if she wants that format/look/Apple os with more storage on a phone itself, the only options now are NOS, refurnbished, or maybe mint, clean iPhone 5C, 5S, or SE (SE is great) with 32, 64, or even 128gb.

The Iphone SE is the same size as the 5. Its basicly a very much upgraded version of the 5c i would say. Not that expensive and comes in a 64g (i think) even if needed.

OP - Time to get Wifey a new phone. The 5C was a total dog in the Apple universe. And when you get her a new phone get lots of memory. I've always bought the most memory available and I've never been sorry. Apps take up a lot of space. Pony up, Buttercup! Get her an 8! It's probably the last one with a home button.

The order, also in terms of quality, was 5C to 5S to SE. Those 3 models are all the same size, so any cases, etc. will fit them all, but the SE was by far the best of the 3. Also, SE was the most recent discontinued, which was made "official" (no real announcement) when the new "X" (stands for "crazy $$$") phones were released a few weeks ago. So, hopefully there should still be some Apple-refurbished or even NOS iPhone SE around if you look around. I would be leery of most eBay iPhones too, but you might get lucky there. Wherever you buy, if the phone is refurbished, etc., definitely ensure that the phone is ready for new activation, that is: a) unlocked or compatible with your current carrier and b) with clean IMEI/ESN numbers.

IMO the S versions were always the way to go with iPhone releases - all the earlier physical faults are usually figured out by then, and the innards are always better. And yes, purchasing as much memory as you can afford on an iPhone is the best policy but there's a few tricks here and there that go a long way for saving space like not taking full res images if not needed, removing downloaded content from streaming sites, clearing internet cache, etc.

64 or 128gb. Apple-refurbished or NOS-guaranteed. You will not get Apple warranties on these, of course, but the SE is a perfect phone for your wife's needs, far better than her old 5C.
