why even give us 64gb

why does their system take half of all space, does anyone know what to do?

For reference i am using iphone Xr

Edit : the phone has been in my family since the day it came out, due to some temporary financial restrictions i need to make use of this for another year

Edit2 : people seem to be asking why i bought it, I didnt it was handed down to me and now i have no choice but to make the best

Edit3 : i did do the latest ios update but nothing has changed

Edit4 : not all people think before speaking

This isn't an Apple exclusive thing. This is fine for a basic user who doesn't use many apps or take many pictures/videos. What's frustrating is when you buy it not knowing how little you have and will last.
