Apple fans delete their life to update to iOS8

YOU will need 5.6GB of space for the new Apple iOS update. But you don’t need to delete everything to make space... like some diehard fans did.

WHEN Apple released the new version of the operating system for iPhones and iPads today, there was nothing that people wouldn’t delete to make space for it on their phones.

Graduation pics, Bible apps and selfies of a personal nature are just a few of the things Apple addicts have jettisoned to make room for the 1GB needed for the system update plus the 4.6GB of extra free space needed for download.

Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I deleted my Holy Bible app to make room for the iOS 8.

Who has a handy 5.6GB of space on their iPhone or iPad waiting for iOS8? Turns out, quite a lot of people don’t.

Before you join the flock of folk bemoaning the first world problem of deleting space on their mobile device in order to improve their mobile device, there is another way.

Deleting a load of stuff just to get IOS8 😭 WHAT THE HELL??

If you connect your device to iTunes (you’ll need to make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer), you can download the iOS8 update and install it through a sync of your device.

That way you only need about 1GB for the installation.
