Please Clarify "Upgrade":

How are you looking to upgrade? Looking to upgrade the iPhone itself? Or are you looking up upgrade to new, better phone?


If Looking to Upgrade Storage...

Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support


So, what to do:

Clear Space:

Try clearing internal storage though use of the following:

What Space to Clear:

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:


And...



B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.


And...


C. "Other" being the Culprit:

Use my User Tip:The storage named "Other"(or "System Data") is a grey bar seen in storage. How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tip
