Not in iCloud but I mean for example if the iPhone has let’s say for example 2TB could it have more than 500,000 thousand photos with videos?

Quick napkin-at-the-restaurant maths:

An iPhone 15 picture taken at 24MP in Jpeg tops up at 5MB size (no 48MP, no Proraw). That means that a 2TB iPhone 15 can hold up to 400k of these. Considering that most won't reach 5MB and that you can use lower-definition formats and resolutions, yes, 500k is largely possible.

And that's considering that all pictures were taken with an iPhone 15. Plenty of people have a library full of pictures taken with much older camera systems and thus much smaller in storage space.

The answer to your question is yes, that's perfectly possible.

So my 1TB 14 pro can only hold 200k :(
