Thanks. I’m actually more interested in the final system volume that stays resident on the disk. I do not have a lot of disk space to spare. I did find it is about 1GB more so I’m not updating might just get a new roomier iPhone.

Hello armadillo777,

Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. When you go to update your iPhone, it will tell you how large the update file is before downloading. We suspect you are looking to optimize your storage while still being able to update. Let's explore each.

First, update to iOS 15.

We hope this helps.
