I have 10.14 gb available storage and the iOS 18.2 software update needs 8.38 to download, I have enough but it still won’t let me download because it says I don’t have enough storage what can I do?
iPhone 12, iOS 16
If there's not enough space to update
If there isn't enough space to download and install an update, the software on your device will try to make space. It will remove only app data that it can download again and doesn't remove or relocate any of your data. If your device still doesn't have enough space, you can use your computer to update your device.
If you can't connect your device to your computer, you can make room for the update by removing the content and apps on your device that you don't use. Go to Settings > General > [Device name] Storage.
