I just bought an iPhone 14 with 256 G storage. The total storage used is currently 46.8G of 256G… but when I try to download a book into iBooks, it refused to download due to insufficient storage…. What is going on??

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Thank you for the screenshot.


For reference...

Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Try Removing Data from the iPhone itself...

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...

sorry I didn’t take a screen shot and by removing an old app that let the book download … I would bet this message on my iPhone 12 also despite having lots of space on that phone as well (it had 128G).


i got a lot of storage so I would have to deal with this …. I don’t find the solution would be to “manage the storage as is suggested on the Apple care website. Do you have any advice ?


i will likely call Apple directly :) why get all the storage if it can’t be used …
