I Wish I Didn’t Do This To My iPhone 6S

As some of you may know, I’ve been talking a lot about these older iPhones in 2021, I plan on doing the same thing in 2022, but there was something I did this year that I just wish I didn’t do for one of my older iPhones, it honestly butchered about three months worth of my iPhone 6s, so what happened? Well, I installed iOS 15 the day it came out on a lot of my iPhones, including the betas, and the iPhone 6S I had only had 16GB of storage, that was my first mistake. So, I had iOS 15 installed on my iPhone 6S, I then went to install the latest version of iOS 15 (I believe it was iOS 15.0.1) and I didn’t have enough storage to install this update, this was kind of weird, I deleted a bunch of applications, photos, files, but I still didn’t have enough storage on my iPhone 6S.

That didn’t make any sense to me, so I factory reset that iPhone, I then went through the setup process, and went to update my iPhone 6S, and guess what? The iPhone still didn’t have enough storage! This didn’t make any sense to me at all, so I went to my iPhone storage, and it was almost full, this didn’t make any sense to me since I just factory reset it, well, it turns out the iOS 15 had a big issue with storage, and the newer versions of software fixed it, but I couldn’t install it because my iPhone 6S was experiencing that storage issue, and I literally had to factory reset that iPhone several more times before it could even update.

Interestingly enough, I also realized that I was on beta at that time as well, making me install the official version of iOS 15 before updating to iOS 15.0.1. Overall, I would highly recommend not installing the latest version of a full OS update on an older iPhone, especially if you have an older iPhone, what do you think?

That’s pretty much it! if you guys have any other questions let me know in the comment section as well, more important than everything else I love every single one of you, hopefully, I’ll catch you in the next article!
