Hello,
I saw that some apps installed on both iPhone's 5S & 6 are using different size (MB) on each phone. Can somebody explain why does it happen and what is the reason for this problem? In my case the apps from iPhone 6 take up more space than in iPhone 5S?
Thank you

Catalin,
If your apps aren't transferred from iTunes to your device after updating to iOS 9 - Apple Support explains the reason.
So in this case you recommend to download the apps through iTunnes?

If you're missing apps or data after restoring from an iCloud Backup that you made with iOS 9 - Apple Support outlines the Apple recommendations.
I sync my iPhone 6 with itunnes and and I saw that my free space is around 6 GB but when I enter in the Iphone>Setting>General>Storage & iCloud Usage I have the following thinks: Used 7.7 GB Available 3.9 GB. Can you assist me please?
memory management of iphone is not good. there seem to be a lot of useless files that are not erased (and never will). on my phone, mail app takes 1.2 GB although there is not a single mail stored in there.
if you plug your device into itunes and do a complete restore, most of these useless files will be erased. you can easily gain a couple of gigabytes back. the price: this takes time, and you may lose some passwords for apps and wifi networks which you may have to enter manually afterwards. and eventually, the phone will fill up again.
different sizes of apps on iphone 5 and 6 result from different versions installed due to different hardware.
what kind of complete restore did you think, restore backup?
yes. this will restore your iphone from backup exactly as it was. do a complete backup first, then restore to this backup.
Apps different size
