When a new iPhone update is installed, does the process automatically delete obsolete files from prior versions?

Yes. Of course, if you have personal obsolete files (such as data files from apps that no longer run on the updated iOS version), it’s up to you to remove these.

Typically an update within the same iOS major version (e.g., updating from iOS 16.2 to iOS 16.3) introduces a small amount (some megabytes) of storage use. That number should be in the noise relative to the amount of free storage on your iPhone, which you should never allow to fall below 6GB.
Thank you! Is there a way to know how much will be freed up? The newest update is over 3GB!
