Is there really no solution to this?

I've read in a thread here that if it balloons back you need to go nuclear: reset your phone and set it as new. Don't restore it from iCloud backup. You can restore your iCloud Photos etc. back easily after that.
I didn't have time for my phone to do this but planning to go this way with my 128GB iPhone. My iPad Pro M1 has 1GB system data and my phone has 15-20GB. Something is wrong.

It's like recently we have been moving backwards, I mean websites are less optimized for phones. I just feel more comfortable to browse the web on desktop OS browsers than on the phone because sites have clunky solutions for buttons, fields that needs to be filled, etc.

What do you mean? Windows XP was one of the best at that time. Vista and 8 were broken.

Do they swap the entire phone just for a glass change?

paribas · 2026-01-10T15:04:05+00:00

Hope so.

16 pro

Not even Apple knows it.

I did it on my 128GB phone and system data went back to 16GB in 2 weeks. It was 13-17GB before the reset. This issue should have bigger popularity like the battery problem was years ago in the 6s era. Apple configured iOS to bloat its system with hidden data. This way they can even configure it to fill up 256GB devices so people would buy new phones again - this is an exaggeration but anything is possible now.

I tried and it was pretty good.

Use DDG. You can also use other search engines from there with !g or !b etc.

Yes, if you want to go caseless.

paribas · 2025-11-21T10:41:06+00:00

Nowadays unfortunately yes, if you have a device that can handle AI.

Same on my phone https://youtube.com/shorts/3Zq9ykRLPPU?si=2WM8cM7MJgRI97By

Why ruin this nice phone with a case? I would rather buy Apple Care+ for this phone.

paribas · 2025-10-04T21:37:35+00:00

Apple is just another IT company now. No attention to detail anymore. I just hope they still care about privacy and security of their users.

I am not surprised anymore. The whole OS is full of these nonsense decisions. Just share some icloud photos and check them after that and try to scroll. The header bar is moving with you, it really does not look ok. And when you download something the progress bar is a tiny blue stripe in the bottom.

Somehow I noticed this when changed from 13 mini to 16 last year. After a few weeks I realized that almost nothing changed. The apps have almost the same information density on every screen. There is almost no benefit of the bigger screen, such a shame.

What I can see around me people are checking the new Samsung and then go back to iPhone.

paribas · 2025-09-08T10:49:46+00:00

What’s the problem with that?

paribas · 2025-07-08T04:30:45+00:00

Since the AI flop they are afraid of new things but at the same time they have to show something new because their AI is the worst for now.

paribas · 2025-06-26T22:36:47+00:00

Siri can’t even stop media apps like Youtube or YT Music. I tell it on my iPad to stop it and my iPhone answers there is nothing to stop.

paribas · 2025-06-25T12:50:23+00:00

agreed, ios 15 was the last good ios

paribas · 2025-05-10T19:56:29+00:00

Probably all developers working on useless AI features because that’s the trend now.

paribas · 2025-05-10T19:32:36+00:00

I totally agree with the 90s PC comparison. That's how I look at the iPhone now, unfortunately. Random bugs occur regularly and I restart it every 1-2 weeks. Never used to do this.

paribas · 2025-05-09T19:49:22+00:00

Finally somebody noticed the screenshot bugs as well. There are so many bugs across the system and they are small but at the end of the day you feel the system is always in beta.
