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.

    Back in 2007 when I bought my first MacBook it came with a massive 1Gb RAM, so I asked the lad in the store about upgrading to 2Gb. He pointed me in the direction of a site where I could get it for a damn sight cheaper.

    Yeah, Apple have been playing that game for a loooong time.
