Important and Non-Obvious iPhone Tips

  > Leave some free disk space on your iPhone [...] 20-25% free should be plenty This tip is a bit misleading. iPhone doesn't use swap space, so free space shouldn't really matter to performance at all. That said, I believe flash memory tends to have performance issues with writing if there's very little free space (please correct me if I'm wrong). However, 20-25% is way overkill.

    Yes. 25% is way too much. 5-10% isn't bad. Just make sure its not filled to the brim, since thats when you see performance degradation.

    Thanks, will correct the post. I hadn't experimented with how much space to leave, but had some serious issues when using the whole disk (via fill free space with music) and got some advice from the genius bar about leaving a buffer.
