I always see a lot of flak around space on iOS upgrades. I seem to always have a ton of space.
I never delete iMessages, I take a fair amount of photos (16GB) and I have about 10GB of podcasts and 3GB of Spotify tracks...
What generally burns up people's space on their iPhones? Am I just not taking enough photos?!
- csomar 9y agoNo. You have the 128Gb version. If I recall correctly when buying the iPhone the options where 32Gb/128Gb. As you did calculate, 32Gb is not enough for the usual person. 128Gb on the other hand, is very plenty.
- masklinn 9y agoThe base configuration was 16GB until the 7's release in September 2016 (following which the 6S and SE were updated with 32GB base configurations as well).
- dionidium 9y agoI seem to be in the same ballpark: - Photos & Camera 16.89 GB - Overcast 2.57 GB - GroupMe 1.12 GB
- odammit 9y agoI have a bunch of random apps w/ 200-300MB but I still have about 79GB available of 128GB
- mrks_ 9y agoI think iMessage is the worst offender for most (at least it is for me). Every video or photo I receive eats up space until I remove it or it gets removed in 1 year. Also, the base model only came with 16 GB for a long time, which I imagine most people didn't upgrade.
- odammit 9y agoiMessage is! Woah. I must be pretty tame. I saw a screen shot in the article with iMessage eating over a GB. I'm at a messily 61MB. I've gotta up my social game.
- saagarjha 9y agoMessages on iCloud might be useful for you when it comes out, then :)
- mrks_ 9y agoYeah, that's one of my most anticipated features from this release, to be honest. And ARKit :)
- et-al 9y agoDo you bring over your old photos from your previous iPhones? 34.2 GB photos - 4 years worth, 10k items 5.5 GB audio 3.9 GB apps 4.8 GB documents & data 400 mb "other" I haven't edited my photos in the past year, but I probably could delete 500 images and maybe a few videos. In general, I plan on doubling the storage with every upgrade (every 2-3 years).
- odammit 9y agoI "do" except one upgrade where I don't exactly know wtf happened but my phone synced to my laptop and my phone deleted my photos in the old iPhoto. So... Im missing about 3 years worth of stuff... Yes, I work in ops and did not have a back up of my laptop because I trusted in the cloudz. I now have 2 backups.
- et-al 9y agoI'm sorry to hear. Apple's sync works in mysterious ways which I cannot trust 100%.
