When purchasing an iPhone, we are often guided by the use we usually give it, finally deciding on the option with the lowest capacity, since we can expand it with external drives or even iCloud if we need it, and it is something logical, which I include I do the same.
However, the storage capacity of a phone must not only be taken into account for its “space”, but also for its performance, since an iPhone with little capacity could impact the speed of our iPhone, especially if it is we are almost full.
Why an iPhone with more space is better
Even though you think that having little space is not affecting your iPhone, since you have enough for your daily life, it does, and a lot, so let’s see in what aspects you can notice it:
- Slower performance: One of the causes of a phone being slow is the lack of cache memory, which helps to avoid having to reload certain files to execute an app, action, etc., so if we have little space, the iPhone It will automatically assign it to the most important thing, leaving many others unattended.
- Update problem: If you are one of those who never checks the system updates and lets them install themselves, you may have another big problem, since the fact of always being at 99% storage makes it impossible for iOS to download a new patch or update and execute it, thus that you will have to go manually and see how much space you need for it, since they are important to do.
- Errors in applications: Apps that handle large volumes of data, such as video editing or heavy games, may close unexpectedly or perform poorly if there is not enough space.
- Backup: Likewise, the backup may not be performed correctly if it is very large, something that will also depend on the space contracted in iCloud, so we have to take this into account, since we could lose important information that we believe is safe.
- Limitations on multitasking: The system can close background applications faster to free up memory, that is, many of these should run again when we click on them, something that previously opened in a millisecond, will now take us much longer, which is related with the first point.
Therefore, acquiring an iPhone with more space, or at least not letting it fill up completely, are two very important points, since, as we have seen, not only the space will determine whether we can take one more photo or not, but which is important for other aspects, even one’s own phone warming It depends on whether it is heavily loaded or not.
And you, have you noticed that your iPhone works better when you have more free space, or do you really not notice the difference that much and you don’t care about the problems we have talked about today? Leave us a comment with your experiences and opinion on the topic.
