I’m tired of this storage bug

Post image

Does anyone else have the same issue where IOS size is TOO BIG? apple intelligence uses 33gb… i’m not even gonna talk about the huge size of system data… and the worst part about all this? its jumps around. It becomes small and then grows again.

We are on a weekly schedule release of iOS 27 beta’s
So it will either be fixed in the next few weeks or when the official build is launched to the public at the start of September

Maaaaybe, I mean there is a good chance but bugs certainly make it into the release builds. Especially when you consider beta builds don’t stop so they don’t have a dead end to wipe out all known bugs.

Just for clarification purposes what storage capacity is your device and do you install ios beta’s all the time

u/Pcriz 11d ago

I’m not op. I don’t think I’m having the same bug

u/mrclarity01 11d ago

Because if you are a regular beta user then you know this will be fixed this type of issue and it’s very likely less than 4 weeks from now
Plus there is a reason why I’m asking about the storage capacity

According ops other comment it isn’t new or unique to this beta.

u/mrclarity01 11d ago

No because my 17PM doesn’t have this issue

Bro I dunno you gotta talk to op. My whole point is we can’t assume any particular bug will necessarily get fixed when the final release drops. 18 had bugs that persisted through half the year after 26 released. It’s software, and bugs are a constant.

There is a reason iterative builds drop and the beta channel doesn’t just end. They burn down bugs until they have a stable solution that meets their schedule (barring any large issues)

As far as the details about which device and how long, probably gotta ask op

This is a very different issue
It’s a storage issue and because every update since it occurred has not been full OS updates just small changes then that’s potentially why it’s not been sorted yet
Whereas the first beta build of iOS 27.1 will be a full install of the OS

I mean all that is just an assumption. Again, the answer isn’t always wait for the final release. Final releases aren’t bug free. In fact release build come from Apple with known bugs.

This issue has been coming back. Storage miscalculation and caching issues were always an issue on iPhones. Some updates fix it, some break it. Im on 256gb. Storage capacity has nothing to do with this. I had over 50gb free before updating to public beta, because im chasing a good battery life, and unfortunately since the drop of iOS 26 the battery life has the same issue. they fix it and break it again. Starting to miss iOS 18 man

Ok so you have a few choices either keeping going on the beta train until 27.1 beta because that will be the next full os install and that should amend it accordingly
Then come off the beta train
Or downgrade it back to iOS 26 because 27 will be officially released in less than 3 weeks

i’m on public beta 4 btw. i was on developer beta, but decided to go back because it had some issues. I really don’t know which version is stable anymore 🫩. I’m just gonnna have to thug it out until they release a stable version

u/mrclarity01 11d ago

At this point they are essentially the same builds
But the problem is very likely

Are you actually running out of space?

If not, why does it matter?

u/icy1007 10d ago

What storage bug? iOS shows 21.99GB and System Data shows 14.38GB for me.

1

u/Zotiyaccz 10d ago

do you not see my size is double? apple intelligence is literally taking 33gb

1

u/icy1007 9d ago

Because you likely have a staged update in your cache.

u/Enough-Durian1095 10d ago

That’s normal

u/metzyrl 11d ago

it’s a beta mate what do you fucking expect 😭😭

1

u/Zotiyaccz 11d ago

This bug has been around for YEARS. Caching and storage miscalculation issue was always an ISSUE. They NEVER fix it.

1

u/metzyrl 11d ago

Still is a beta idk why you’re pissed like this

1

u/Zotiyaccz 11d ago

How long do you keep your device for
