Given that Apple still sells an 16GB iPhone (for some baffling reason) I wonder what percentage of users will not have the necessary 4GB of unused space.
Anecdotally, Several of my officemates have had this issue.
- zeitg3ist 13y agoIt actually needs 2.5 GB to install (it won't use it after the installation, obviously).
- Watabou 13y agoI only needed to have 1.9GB of free space on my iPhone 5.

- swampthing 13y agoNot sure that would be baffling - that's the model everyone I know has (including myself).
- e1ven 13y agoSorry for being confusing - I don't disagree it's popular model. What I don't understand is why Apple's baseline model has 16GB. It seems like flash memory can be had very cheaply - Amazon shows several examples of 64GB MicroSD cards for ~ $25. It would seem like starting their base model at 64GB would be very consumer-friendly, and have a very low cost.
- bananas 13y agoMy wife has a 16Gb iPad mini retina. It had 5G free on it. It really depends what you do. 16Gb is probably enough for most people. My kids though had about 50Mb free each.

- shadesandcolour 13y agoWith my 2.1 GB of unused space I had no issue installing this update. It's a delta update so the size will vary. Mine requested about 200 some MB if I'm not mistaken.
