Nearly every iPhone user runs low on storage at some point. It’s not surprising considering that 16GB is still the base model storage across the entire iPhone line.
Running low on storage can be a major inconvenience, but there are steps that can be taken to free up much needed space. Recently, we came across what we like to call an iTunes Jedi mind trick that restores storage space to your iPhone like magic. We put this trick to the test with an iPhone 6 running iOS 9.3.1 and it worked.
If you find yourself in need of some space, simply follow the steps below:
1) First, check your storage to make sure you truly are low on space (you’ll understand why shortly).
2) Next, find a movie in iTunes to “rent” that is larger than the amount of storage that you have available (don’t worry, you won’t actually be renting anything). Once you click the Rent button, you’ll see a message that states that you don’t have enough storage to rent the movie. Then simply tap Settings from the Cannot Download message. But be careful, if you’re not truly low on space and have enough storage to rent the movie, it will download.
3) You’re done! Simply attempting to rent a movie frees space on your iPhone. You can even try it multiple times to free more storage. Check out how much we saved with just one try in the image below.
