You can purchase iCloud Storage on an Apple Server somewhere. This does not affect your device's local storage capacity in any way.


The local storage capacity on an iPhone is fixed, and cannot be changed.


If you don't have space to download anything, then you need to delete content off the iPhone. Buying iCloud storage will not change this.
