Iphone 14 Pro System data changes from 12GB to over 60. Any theories? So I have a 128 GB Iphone 14 pro. The other day, looking at storage, over 60gb was under "Other System Data." I did the usual. Deleted old messages, clear safari, etc. It did nothing to change it. So I turned the phone off and restarted it. When it came back on, System data was down to 12gb. Then again today, it changed to over 60gb. Again, I shut the phone down, and once it restarted, system data was once again at 12gb. Anyone encounter this issue before, even on previous models? If so or not, what are your thoughts, theories or suggestions for fixing this?

High System Data usage on iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18 I have a new iPhone 16 Pro Max with 256 GB of memory/storage. It currently says that I am out of memory/storage because the System Data is taking up 120GB (this is in addition to 18GB for the iOS). That means OVER HALF of my new phone’s memory is not usable to me. I’ve never had a memory issue with an iPhone. I am hoping there is a glitch in the new operating system, or perhaps the “AI” is eating it up and can be fixed. PLEASE fix this. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Extremely high system data on iPhone storage Hi, I just got a 1TB iPhone 14 Pro Max. My iPhone storage keeps maxing out because it is showing that system data is around 900+GB. The iPhone barely has 70GB file and App data. So I don’t understand what is causing this extremely high system data. It clears up if I restart the phone. But it seems to be happening (maxing out) on a daily basis.

There's no need for concern unless you encounter functional issues.
