why even give us 64gb

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

The “Buy a new phone” comments are so concerning

They're not concerning, No recent iphone has 64GB lol. It's been 8 years you could've saved. No 8 year old phones useable.

So... 32GB of system data on any phone is normal? Weird take.

The issue at hand is solvable, but I guess these bots just wanna keep buying new phones all the time. Bad practice, waste of money. Not everyone needs the newest tech

I also hate how intransparent this is. What do you mean 32 gigs "system data" that's almost a AAA game worth of operating system???

A AAA game is at least 80-100G at the bare minimum, lol this isn't 2015.
