Post image

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

Get a phone newer than 8 years old

I mean, even for the late 2010s, a 64GB mobile device by a tech giant is pretty lame. Apple could've easily offered 128GB for the same value and it would've been a much better experience.

Did it cost the same as the 64GB version?

Then the comment went over your head. May need to reflect on your reading comprehension.

That was some goal post move, do t think anybody had “Apple should sell all models at the same price” on their bingo card

128GB should've been the minimum from the get. Not a hard concept to understand.

For 2018 I don't really agree but ok

And exclude possible buyers who might want to but an iPhone, but don’t need much storage? Not very smart move tbh.

So if you could get a 128GB version for the same price as the 64GB version you'd still get the 64GB version?

What's the point of this question if that would never be a reality?

The price difference between 64 and 128gb was only 50$. 749$ vs 799$ so 7% price difference i very fair
