Could be psychological tbh. It’s really not a big issue, but I’d rather refresh earlier. Although the storage problem is real and frustrating. And despite the chip shortages, the newer iPhones still come with far more storage than what I have now.
Have you tried just wiping your phone and starting fresh?
Have you tried… deleting data and apps you don’t actually need?
Almost weekly at this point
Damn, that does sound frustrating. I have an iPhone SE with 32GB (I think) and have to remove things maybe twice a year to make space for something. I never understood how people fill their storage, but 32GB already sounds pretty large to me, and I see that apps size has increased a lot over time :(
