Reading the SD Card:

You can read the SD card, using this: Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader — Apple - Apple. This, however, will have no space on your internal storage. Read the following...


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:

B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:
