Other Do iPhones slow down when storage is full?

[retta283]

I know most computers slow down once you get down to a few gigs left, but do iPhones do the same? I filled up 2 iPod touches and noticed no slowdowns.

 

[now i see it]

Yes

 

[Apple_Robert]

Most definitely. You should leave at least 20% free,

 

[Shirasaki]

Yes, it will. And that basically is how current NAND flash memory works.
Speaking of which, I do not leave enough space on my iPhone uh.

 

[Lekro]

Yes they do because filling it up, you leave very little space for wear levelling and trim. It is slower to write to blocks that already has data on it.

 

[Gravydog316]

Yes; (depends on the iOS software version & how that's made too)

 

[cableguy84]

Haven’t noticed a great deal of slowdown on any of my iphones only older models

 

[dontwalkhand]

Yes, Do not fill it to 100%. I have done so, and I have noticed major slowdowns, that I have just come to accept as part of using the phone. Deleted some stuff, and the thing flies.

Yes, but I would say you need about 10% free for cache/temp files.
