I have a 15 Pro 128GB and I can no longer install betas with their sheer size and how much the current OS takes up.

OS: 32.5GB
System Data: 26GB
Update: 22GB

That’s over 80GB just for iOS, which is almost 2/3 of the storage space. Annoyingly part of the OS is a 12GB reserve for updates but that doesn’t count for beta installs.

This is just getting way too bloated in an attempt to force people to pay for more storage. I’ve already offloaded a chunk of things to “the cloud” but that’s well beyond what I can keep coming up with.

It feels like that because that’s the way that it is.
