Sounds like a feature, not a bug (from Apple’s point of view)

Can a phone be backed up to a memory stick... I’d like to get more storage space that way if possible.

I call BULL CRAP on this. My family and I have owned iPhones for MANY years and have never had to get a new iPhone because of storage being used up. And when you have kids they store a mammoth amount of data on their phones.

This is BS… as a 15 year iOS user, I have never seen the memory usage behavior on any of my iOS devices described by this so-called ex-Apple Employee filing up my memory storage. Not once or ever. That is just not true. — Apple FUD PING!


APPLE FUD (FEAR, UNCERTAINTY, and DOUBT) PING!

The person, who goes by @nabeel_co, says there is a “long-standing” bug in iOS that prevents cache files and temporary files from being deleted as they should. These files accumulate more and more until they consume all the extra storage space on an iPhone. “Then what do people do then? They go out and they buy a new phone,” the TikToker says ...

This is B.S. I’ve got an iPhone, an older iPhon8. It still works fine. On occasion, I’ll get a low memory message due to podcasts sucking up storage. I then go to the preferences and delete the podcasts to free up storage. Not a big deal.

Total BS.

Clearing the cache on Apple devices is pretty simple.

Never had to upgrade because I ran out of space.

I still have my 128GB MacBook Pro from 2014 with 58GB of space. Just moved stuff to the cloud.

I never cared much for Apple, but the influence of disgruntled ex-employees in the age of the Internet is interesting.

Not a storage issue, but more and more apps are ceasing to work on my I-phone 6. Walmart, Amazonn, Slack, etc.

Notice that NONE of the links in that “article” actually go to the content they claim to be using as their “evidence” -

But perusing his TikTok page shows me a deranged, disgruntled, and likely extremely incompetent “former Apple employee” (the latter I didn’t find actual evidence of).

Apple was caught slowing the internet speed on older phones as well. Now they are helping the communists by disabling a phone feature that lets them talk to one another without being on the internet. In prior support Apple gave all user info to the communists. They do not care who is murdered by the communists as long as Apple gets the iPhone made.

Tim Cook of Apple supports the communist Chinese and the democrat party.
