Ex-Apple employee claims company allows iOS bug to fill up users' iPhone storage, forcing them to upgrade
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA: A former Apple employee claims the company is allowing an iOS bug to fill customers' iPhone memory so they can update their software. The former employee posted a video on TikTok sharing how the tech giant allegedly "scams" its customers. In the video, he says that it's "not your fault" when iPhone storage runs low.
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 in the video, as reported by Daily Dot. "They don't realize that if they just backed up to iTunes or iCloud, wiped their phone, and then restored it from their backup, they could get all their data back and all of a sudden magically have 20 per cent more free space."
