I go to my iPhone settings to install an update. It says I can’t install the update because “at least 3.92 GB of storage space required.” I check my storage space. It’s 5.88 GB. Does anyone know what’s going on here?
Especially with no obvious "...(4) Profit!" reason for Apple to intentionally lie, I'd attribute this to incompetence.
There are a number of ways to measure available storage space, before you even get into "GiB vs. GB" sorts of issues. So if it's not too much of a PITA, freeing up more space seems a pretty plausible "First Kludge" to try.
