Hi,
I'm using an iPhone 5 32GB. Before updating to iOS 8, I deleted all of my photos which was around 2000+. After updating, I saved some memes and GIFs, and there's only 45 photos in my iPhone now. But it takes up 900mb. Is this for real or is this a bug/something wrong with my iPhone? I mean, 45 photos couldn't take up 1GB right? That's outrageous lol. What should I do? š
Thanks
iPhone 5, iOS 8
45 photos, 900MB, average 2MB per photo. Yes, that is very feasible. Full size photos taken with my 5S, depending on the color and detail are showing about 1.9MB/ea.
Um, wouldn't 2MB (1 photo), so 2MB x 45 photos = 90MB?
Did I miscalculate or something? Cause I'm pretty sure 2x45=90, if 2mb = 1 photo. So what exactly is taking up space till 900mb? lmao smh
Even my 300+ Cara Delevingne photo collection (HD that is) in my Mac takes up only 79mb lol *** is this bs
I'm sorry, guess I was using that new math they are teaching. Do you have any other photos on the device, such as ones synced to the phone from the computer?
Lol what new math, are you being sarcastic Nope. Someone said its because I saved the pics from the internet, so the web info is stored on the pic as well. Is this true?
As far as I know no web info is saved in the file. The individual files should just be the photo. I'm not sure why your file size is so large. Is the "Nope" supposed to be the answer to my question regarding photos synced to the phone from the computer?
I doubt that saving photos from the Internet would make that much difference.
Yeah, "Nope" is the answer to your question. I don't sync photos from my Mac to my iPhone. I know, weird right? Like I pointed out, my 300+ photos of Cara doesn't even reach 100MB, and somehow just 45 photos of memes takes up almost 1GB š How about photos saved from an app? Like VSCO CamĀ®, or some meme maker, does that make any difference to file size?
Also, my iPhone is losing space everytime I plug into my Mac w iTunes on. Get it? Like, I didn't press sync and there'll be 6.5GB free, but without syncing it drops down to 6.46GB, etc. What sorcery is this?
How about from an app? Lets say I used a meme maker to make a generic meme, and save it. Does it make the photo size bigger if its saved from an app?
Photos saved from apps do take up space on the phone. It would depend on the app as to file sizes, etc. You would need to check with the app developer to answer that question. Space changes reported in iTunes are based on what you have done on the phone. It has to check capacity based on what is on the phone, and if you add something on the phone, iTunes needs to change the space left based on this new infomraiton. The first report you get is left over from the last time you plugged it in. No sorcery to it.
