As a counterpoint, I have yet to run out of space on my 8GB total (less usable) Nexus 4, and I don't feel constrained by it. I'll take a cheaper model over more

As a counterpoint, I have yet to run out of space on my 8GB total (less usable) Nexus 4, and I don't feel constrained by it. I'll take a cheaper model over more storage any day!
- k-mcgrady 12y agoNot sure how updates work on Android but even with delta updates iOS 8 required 5GB of free space. If you have an 8GB iPhone (with the OS already taking about 1GB) you are never getting that thing on there.
- rimantas 12y ago5GB are only required for OTA upgrade, you can connect to iTunes and upgrede that way.
- quinndupont 12y agoI have an 8GB Nexus 7 tablet (although, soon won't...), and maybe it is just me, but despite the improvements on the last release, if you come anywhere near the storage maximum it slows WAY down. Or, maybe it is just bad bit rot, and all Nexus 7 tablets end up like this. Last time I had an iPad (years ago...) they didn't seem to suffer anywhere near as bad in terms of eventual slowdown.
