      Unlikely. Mobile OSes are shipped as images, meaning you can remove preinstalled apps from your user account but you can’t free the storage they use.

        Yeah, but even without any files and no extra apps, the OS itself and the preinstalled apps use enough space for unpacking the downloaded image to fail. Maybe if I uninstall the preinstalled apps I’ll have enough free space for the new image to be downloaded and unpacked properly. I doubt it tho. So basically, the 32 GB iPad is E-Waste because you can’t update it due to Apples horrible space and update optimization.

    Apple is slowly becoming (or being forced to be) more open than Google.

    Sad how surprised I am. It goes so much against Apple’s practice and wants. Thank regulation.
