Depending on the storage space of our device, it is likely that practically every day iOS shows us the happy full storage space, which forces us to have to review, one more day, which are the applications that we have installed on our device, to well see if we can gain some space by deleting them.
A few years ago, Apple launched the base model with 16 GB of storage memory, a storage space that once we discounted the space occupied by the operating system, we were not left with anything less than 12 GB. Fortunately, that changed a couple of years ago, the minimum storage capacity being 32 GB.
With the arrival of the iPhone X, Apple began offering a 64GB minimum space, more than enough space to be able to worry about both the applications we have installed and the amount of photos or videos we can take, regardless of the video quality we use. However, those users who continue with a 16 GB iPhone or iPad, continue to suffer from that lack of space until they can renew their device.
If you want to know how much free space do you have on the iPhone or iPad, you must do the following steps:
- First, we head up Settings.
- Within Settings, click on General.
- Below we have two ways to know what is the free space of our device:
- Through option IPhone storage. This section will also show us the size of all the applications that we have installed on our computer, being the best option to check the space since it allows us to eliminate the applications that occupy the most space or that we are no longer interested in using.
- Through Information. Through Information, we only have information about the free space of our device. It also shows us the total number of applications installed on our computer along with the total storage space of the device.
The first iPhone (EDGE) base model had 4GB, not 16GB as the article says.
