Finally, an update that actually gives you storage space back.
Apple launched its latest software update, iOS 10.3, on Monday. The update comes with new features like “Find My AirPods,” but users seem to be noticing an added bonus: It’s allegedly freeing up their storage space.
Wow, iOS 10.3 gave me 3 gigs of storage #ios103

iPhone users latest iOS update 10.3 should Increase storage quite a bit with the new apple file management system,worth updating if your low

There could be a number of reasons for the storage freeing up. iOS 10.3 contains an update to the file system that the software uses to store all your phone’s data. It’s also possible that the new OS is just smaller in size than the previous one, or that rebooting your phone and clearing caches always makes it a bit snappier and frees up some storage.
Either way, we’re not complaining!
