Iphone won’t backup nor update software My iphone storage was full for a while and despite deleting all photos/videos, apps and buying 1T storage on Icloud it keeps saying 230GB full. I have been with Apple support on the phone twice. They advised to backup the phone and restore it. The phone won’t back up, get’s stuck on estimating time for 8/9 hours. I tried to backup on my mac. Same story. They advised then to upgrade the software. It won’t update, it get’s stuck on preparing upgrade for 12/14 hours until I need to use the phone and pauses it. This is really frustrating and driving me insane as I need the data to be saved before restoring the phone. [Edited by Moderator]

iPhone ios15.5 - “other data” will not delete after factory reset I iPhone storage is full. I tried numerous methods of deleting apps, caches, photos and videos without success. I then backed up my phone to my Mac. I factory reset the phone. When setting up the phone from factory reset I did not use the back up on my Mac as I wanted to see that the “other data” was actually deleted from the phone. It was NOT. Now my entire phones memory (except IOS) is full with “other data” - it actually grew in size after the factory reset?? I’m super confused. Please can you provide some assistance? Thanks

I suggest that you get a phone with as much storage as you can affore. As you quickly realize, you need all the space you can get!
