How to manage storage space on the iPhone

One thing that has remained constant on the iPhones, is the way they handle storage space. iPhones have been omitting the expandable memory feature since the time they were launches, almost a decade ago. What this means, is that iPhones come with internal storage and that’s about it. This may sound like a deal-breaker to most, but Apple has been consistent with this practice, and it has now reached a stage, that many other competitors are following this trend wherein the internal storage is all the user gets.

Coming back to iPhone storage, Apple follows a practice, where they offer their iPhone devices in three storage options. Currently, the options are 64GB, 128GB and 256GB. The iPhones come with the same feature, which makes it easy for people to choose. On paper, these storage options may look restrictive, but honestly, they are not.

In an off chance that you actually start running out of storage space on the iPhone, it’s important to know, how you can check the storage status, check storage stats, and what you can do to manage it or free up some storage to allow for newer content.
