@AppleSupport Updated to iOS 15 and have the ‘iPhone storage almost full’ message which I cannot clear. When I tap the notification nothing happens. pic.twitter.com/rvcsf0ds8L

This means that some users’ iPhones are failing to accurately calculate the real amount of storage that their apps and files are taking up. Apple says that in order to get a true idea about the amount of storage they have left to work with on their devices, iPhone users need to reset their phones. But who wants to do that? And a reset doesn’t seem to alleviate the problem that prevents iPhone users from obtaining a realistic look at the amount of storage that users have on their iPhones.
Without an easy fix, the best thing that Apple can do is send out an update as embarrassing as they might be. Whether it is called iOS 15.0.1 and iPadOS 15.0.1, such an update could give iPhone and iPad users the opportunity to fix this mess.
