Expand iPhone SE Storage?

Is there any upgrade service that Apple offers that will allow me to upgrade the capacity of my iPhone SE? I bought the 16 gb model when it came out (due to budget) and I'm finding the phone's internal 14.9 gig capacity somewhat limiting! I know that the storage is non-expandable, but could the storage be upgraded internally? Thanks in advance!

Hi


It is not possible to upgrade / expand the internal storage capacity of any iPhone model.


Options for managing and freeing up storage space on your iPhone include:

Photos:


  • Enable iCloud Photo Library and turn on Optimise Storage.
    • This frees up storage space on your iPhone by keeping space saving versions of all of your photos and videos on your iPhone and full size originals in iCloud.
    • Files are optimised automatically, as required.
    • Important: note that, when using iCloud Photo Library, deleting a photo or video on any device that is using the service also deletes it from all other devices that are using the service, including from iCloud.
    • iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support

  • Import photos and videos to your PC and delete them from your iPhone:

    You may otherwise wish to consider purchasing a new iPhone with more storage.
