16gb "enjoyer" here. 
Big sdcards save us. Even if the old phones are more limited to the maximum size.

Edit: besides the limited space got me into custom roms without google shit that takes the other half of the space, the first being android.

I'm dealing with 64 GB hell too. I can't live like this much longer! :)

Yeah I was thinking of getting both an iPhone16 and this pixel 9. My current phone is extremely limited in space (64 GBs 😩)
