How to Free Up iPhone Storage

The "Storage Full" Nightmare

Apple charges a premium for storage. If you have a 64GB or 128GB iPhone, you likely struggle with the "Storage Almost Full" notification constantly. The culprit? usually 4K Video.

A single minute of 4K 60fps video on an iPhone is roughly 400MB. That means just 40 minutes of video fills up a 16GB chunk of space.

The Solution: Compress and Archive

Instead of deleting your precious memories or paying monthly for iCloud+, you can compress them.

1. Transfer your videos to your laptop (via AirDrop or Cable).
2. Drag them into VideoLite.
3. Compress them to HEVC (H.265) or standard H.264. A 400MB file can easily become 40MB.
4. Save the small versions back to your phone or a hard drive.

You keep the memory, but lose the digital weight.
