Full storage failed update Bottloop

Hi,

is there any solution yet to an iPhone 12 Pro Max which had full storage. Failed update on Mac . Then went into bootloop. Which says swipe up to upgrade. When swipe up I put my passcode, loads on apple logo for 30 seconds. Then goes back to the same swipe up to upgrade screen.

please comment below what to do.

The iPhone "iphone" could not be updated. The disk you are attempting to use is full. Removing files and empty the Recycle Bin will free up additional space.

IOS update problem Bugged out Hi community, so I was about to update IOS to the latest one and the touch suddenly is not responding to any swipe I do even though I tried the force restart the phone. I opted to update the phone using itunes but the problem is I got stuck on the apple logo with the loading bar below it. However, it fails due to error -1. Support said I may have a full phone that's why the update wont push through. I tried a couple of times restarting both laptop and phone but to no avail. Even Update and Restore doesn't work. Now, my problem is how do I vacate space in my phone when I cant even access the phone on my laptop? Are there any remedies for this one? :(

Put the phone into recovery mode and restore iOS using your computer, then restore your last backup.
