70% of the memory is reserved to the System
I bought this iPhone 5s 2 years ago, it has 16 GB memory but 11,19 GB is reserved to the System software. This means that 70% of it's actual memory is reserved to the operating system. So basically I have less than 5GB for personal usage. It wasn't like this at the beginning. If I am not mistaken, when I bought it the operating system took less than 7 GB which was not good but still better than now. I avoided the updates as long as I could but many times when I woke up in the morning the device said that he got updated to the latest version during I was asleep without my permission. I don't even bring into discussion that it moves slower. So now with less than 5 GB for personal usage, it's almost unusable considering that only WhatsApp takes like 1.5 GB. I didn't payed for this and I am pretty disappointed. I feel like I was robed, I feel like that Apple is spitting in my face. I will soon have to chance this phone and considering this I don't want to hear from Apple again. I also own a latest MacBook Pro device at my office but I won't but that item for my personal usage also just because of this. I hope that Apple will fix this somehow even though I don't understand how they can fix this. iCloud would be some kind of solution to give more free space for older devices which were forced to upgrade the system and are unusable anymore but yet iCloud is so strange to use and I personally don't like it. Is there any way to make it right ?
