How To Boost Your iPhone’s Storage Capacity

How To Boost Your iPhone’s Storage Capacity, this is a question that has been bothering iOS users all over the world since the first iPhone was launched in 2007. Ever since the first iPhone was introduced, Apple has categorically defined the evolution that the smartphone has been bringing every year with a new and better iPhone.

However, there is one this that iOS users have been complaining about, for the longest time, and that is the low storage. Despite coming up with new features every time, there is one thing that Apple has been ignoring all these years and that is the limited storage. The base variant of Apple iPhones comes with 16GB of internal storage and by the time you download a few apps, a couple games, your favorite songs, click a few photos, the horror of ‘not enough space’ start haunting you.

The only option left in this condition is taking a backup and start deleting everything from your iOS device. But for those for whom deleting is not their cup of tea, they are left with the only option of going for a 128GB variant, which to be frank, is not at all worth it, when compared to Android devices of recent times.
