iPhone Storage

Hi. I switched from iPhone 8 to 12 and my storage capacity is supposed to be 128gb but when I try to install the update it shows not enough space. 61.2 gb used out of 64gb. My old phone was 64 gb. New one should have 128gb.

Why is it so?

Moreover it’s not iCloud. I have a subscription of 50gb there too.

Pretty frustrating!

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
