Hi Dominique
I am not an expert on this as you know and perhaps there are many others who
could answer your query more knowledgeably. But you do so much work sending
such excellent emails I thought I better give it a shot. I have an iPhone SE
(four years old) and I bought extra capacity. 128 GB). The reason I bought the
SE, like you it had a home button, no great camera or other extras but an
excellent a9chip which was similar to much more expensive models. I know there
is a new SE coming out soon (because I read your excellent emails) and I hope
to buy it (home button also) With an amazing a 13 chip installed.
As far as I know it is not possible to buy extra capacity (I do not mean(I do
not mean iCloud storage). Your 64 GB is what you have to work with. It seems
from the apps that you should have plenty of room to spare. The apps that I
find can gobble up a lot of room are virgin media (if you download a box set or
film), audiobooks and music (I have Apple music and create playlists to stream
the music rather than downloading it). But as soon as you are finished with the
film or audiobook the extra gigabytes should be automatically deleted.
Hope this helps
All the best
Gerry

Hi all!
Iâm wondering my iPhone 8 capacity is 64GB and available is 50.11GB. Is
that a lot? And can you purchase more and is there a cost for it?
The three Apps I downloaded are, âSEEING AI, RTE NEWS NOW & AMAZON
ALEXAâ. I did have eight other ones, but I deleted them and noticed that
there was considerable storage left then after!
I do love this phone, I went from a 4S to a 6S, and this one is the best and
nicest one Iâve had, and it still has the home button which I wanted, so
thatâs why I opted for this one over two years ago now!
Is it the iOS updates that take up the most storage rather than downloading
apps?
Many thanks!
